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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

CUI launched its AMT Viewpoint™ Graphical User Interface (GUI) that supports the recently released AMT11 incremental and AMT31 commutation encoder series. The AMT family is a rugged, high accuracy ...

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 ...

The brochure on capacitive nanometrology displacement sensors and electronics presents PI’s state-of-the-art systems and also features a tutorial on single plate and dual plate capacitive sensors and ...

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 ...
