Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

POSITAL has launched a major upgrade to its IXARC family of incremental rotary encoders. These encoders feature new magnetic sensor technology and more energy-efficient embedded microcontrollers .

The ZI-58 Series incremental rotary encoder features an output of 5 to 32,768 pulses. It can be programmed to any value and mechanical zero pulse position required ...

Besides having standard data channels, the RCM and RCH series of incremental rotary encoders are able to develop output signals for commutation of brushless motors. The optically derived commutation ...

The latest developments in Sensor and Incremental Encoder technology are helping engineers to exploit new possibilities in drive technology along with the benefits of expanding factory automation. A ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
