Shaft motion can be tracked by incremental encoders for analysis and use by system controls downstream. Rotational direction is monitored with an encoder ...

The core function of an encoder is to provide feedback to a controller on the position of moving parts in a machine or electromechanical system. “Encoders close the feedback loop and tell you exactly ...

A quadrature encoder provides a way to let hardware read movement (and direction) of a shaft, and they can be simple, effective, and inexpensive devices. But [Paulo Marques] observed that when it ...

Equipment life is affected by a number of operational and environmental factors making each installation unique – for example, the alignment and speed of the motor shaft as well as environmental ...

Key Takeaways: The distance encoder function in RF Controls’ overhead antennas is designed to enable automated RFID tag encoding or EPC ID changes from high ceilings. The technology is being used to ...

Leine & Linde's 800 rotary encoder series now includes an integrated over-speed capability with programmable switching speeds. In many industrial applications like wind turbines, steel plants or ...
