Rotary encoders are great devices. Monitoring just a few pins you can easily and quickly read in rotation and direction of a user input (as well as many other applications). But as with anything, t… ...

While OEMs can use several single-axis encoders to measure different directions, doing so is more complex than using pre-integrated and tested multiple degrees of freedom encoders. There is an ...

The ability of two-in-one encoders to provide motor feedback and position measurement in one device are critical to the space and safety needs of collaborative robots.

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.

Encoders of the highest accuracy and resolution are often the choice considering the small work areas and components—especially when it comes to semiconductor fabrication.

Also, these cheap mechanical encoders are terrible. If you were trying to do precision work, you should probably be looking at a different technology like an optical encoder.

Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

HOW TO: Choosing a Cloud Encoder The session starts by describing what cloud encoding is and how it works for both live and on-demand applications. Then it details the types of applications that work ...
