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 widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

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 ...

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 ...

RS Automation, a company specializing in robot motion control, is showing strong performance. The news of successfully developing an ultra-compact precision capacitive encoder and moving towards ...

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 ...

Rotary encoders are critical to many applications, even at the hobbyist level. While considering his own rotary encoding needs for upcoming projects, it occurred to [Jan Mrázek] to try making his own ...

Rather than the bulky transformers of traditional inductive sensors, the Celera Motion Inc0der sensors use printed circuits. This enables compact, accurate, lightweight, reliable and robustness with ...
