Encoders are one of the most important devices in modern automation and motion control systems. They act as "sensors of position," ensuring machines move precisely the way they are programmed. Without ...

Across motion control applications, encoders are a common choice to provide feedback over position, direction, and speed. A key aspect of their specification is the selection of an incremental or an ...

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 ...

AutomationDirect has expanded its Koyo encoder product line to include additional incremental encoder output options and higher resolutions for absolute encoders. The TRD-S series of 6mm solid shaft ...

Encoder incorporates three design elements for harsh applications: magnetic technology, oversized bearings, and tight seals around the shaft and housing to resist liquid ingress. Gurnee, IL - March 5, ...

This application note demonstrates how to read data from the two-channel output of an incremental rotary encoder. Data from these two channels are based on the Gray Encoding System and can be used to ...

Avago Technologies (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical ...
