Providing design engineers with a cost-effective, high pulse per revolution device for applications with small shaft motors, TT electronics OPTEK Technology offers a family of low-cost miniature ...

A quadrature encoder uses two output channels offset in phase to detect both direction and position with greater precision.

The latest developments in Sensor and Incremental Encoder technology are helping engineers to exploit new possibilities in drive technology along with the benefits of expanding factory automation. A ...

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 ...

The R22i full-featured optical incremental encoder provides position feedback with optional commutation signals for brushless motors. Optional threephase (U, V, W) commutation outputs are available ...

Avago Technologies has designed a range of 3-channel optical incremental encoder modules for controlling DC servo motors, but also robotics and drones. The AEDT-981x module incorporates an ...

The company's Advanced Diagnostic System (ADS) functionality has been incorporated into the PROFIBUS diagnostic information, giving a plant manager insight on the general health of the encoder, as ...

Elma’s E18 rotary encoder comes in through-hole and surface-mount versions in the 14.4 x 11.4 x 6.5mm body size. Rotational life is up to 150,000 revolutions, according to distributor Foremost, which ...

The company's WDG series of incremental encoders has been enhanced and renamed the WDGI series. The operating temperature range of the standard encoder with connector outlet has been expanded to -40 ...

The IXARC rotary encoders now include housings that are only 27 mm long. This reduced length, combined with a diameter of only 36 mm, means that these super-compact devices are ideal for tight spaces.
