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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Driving synchronous machines requires early and accurate knowledge of the absolute position of the rotor; current solutions based on resolvers, sin–cos, or absolute encoders are complex, ...

Kollmorgen has introduced the new SFD-M (Smart Feedback Device, Multi-Turn). It allows machine builders to achieve high-resolution multi-turn feedback with absolute positioning information available ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

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 ...

Equipped with high-precision crossed-roller bearings installed in a proprietary process, these stages achieve excellent geometric performance: the 130 mm variant, for example, features 1.2 µm ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

The SMA21 absolute linear encoder from Lika Electronic provides fine resolution down to 1 µm and high accuracy of ±2 µm at fast speed up to 10 m/s. It is ideally suited for challenging applications ...

As part of its ambitious NEXTGEN initiative, encoder-maker POSITAL has introduced a major update to its portfolio of IXARC magnetic encoders. Aug. 17, 2023 - As part of its ambitious NEXTGEN ...
