This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of ...

According to [Lee Teschler], the classic representation of encoders showing code rings is out of date. His post says that most industrial absolute encoders use a special magnetic sensor known as a ...

A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

Designed without gears to eliminate wear and sensitivity to magnetic fields, the Kübler by TURCK F36 optical encoder series features a compact size of only 36 mm ...

Designed with proprietary code-generating technology, the AMT Series modular incremental encoders cost less than $30 each and feature an onboard DIP switch with 16 selectable resolution options from ...

Quantum Devices, a United States based encoder manufacturer, designs and manufactures high quality, high performance incremental optical rotary encoders for a range of industries and applications. As ...

I was on a little trip with my fellow pyrotechnicians today and fired off some stuff during a demonstration. My g/f had my Canon Powershot while I was out on the grounds and I now have some movies of ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
