Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Absolute Accuracy The difference between the actual position and the reported position through one rotation (like INL) Position control applications depend on absolute accuracy Differential Accuracy ...

C&K has launched an optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-Position Optical Encoder with integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series encoder was developed as an improvement on the company's 16 Position ...

In industrial applications requiring high levels of precision, the position encoder impacts the velocity control and positioning of linear motors and results in quiet motor operation with less heat ...

The Qube 2.25-in. Series RS encoder is designed for use in measuring and cut-to-length operations for the textile, metal, lumber, and rubber industries. The device features an IP54/NEMA-12 enclosure ...

Engineers use rotary encoders to measure the angular position of an attached device, such as a motor shaft, or to measure distance indirectly when used with a linear belt drive, for example. Rotary ...

Offering high reliability and safety, the LIC 4000 series linear position encoders integrate a multi-substrate scale tape with absolute encoder technology, which provides position immediately at ...
