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 ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

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 ...

The quest for energy-efficient designs has made capacitive position encoders a hot topic. • The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize ...

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 ...

Linear encoders are the sensors that detect linear movements as absolute position values without establishing a physical contact with the object. Linear encoders play a crucial role in determining the ...
