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 ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

The right feedback sensor is a key in motion systems that do what they are supposed to. Incremental disks are simple, having only one track shared by two sensors. The sensors are mounted so their ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...
