iC-RT2624, as it will be known, is aimed at both housed and kit encoders, and will achieve its 26bit resolution using interpolation with standard 26mm code discs, the company claims “even in demanding ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Everyone has at least one extra mouse laying around; why not get some use out of it? Disassembling the mouse you can get two optical encoders plus four infrared emitter/detector pairs. Then you can ...

Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.

Veratus is the first MicroE encoder built using the company's new VeraPath™ optical technology, delivering the reliability, signal stability, and dirt immunity required in many applications. VeraPath ...

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 ...

Optical encoders are nothing new; they can be found in everything from mice to printers. They’re great for allowing DC motors to know their exact position and even current direction. If this is ...

MTS Systems' Sensors Division's magnetostrictive sensors now provide the performance level that make them preferable alternatives to linear encoders in certain applications. The sensors can be ...
