Rotary encoders come in two basic varieties: absolute encoders report the actual position of the shaft at a specific time, while incremental encoders indicate relative changes in the shaft’s position.

Kübler 2430 shaft and 2440 hollow shaft miniature encoders are now available in absolute versions. The encoders boast a 24mm diameter housing that suits them well for space-restricted areas, with a ...

Absolute rotary encoders work on motors up to 8,000rpm Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch).

Multiturn absolute encoders resemble any absolute encoder where light shines through an etched disc that has a combination of ON and OFF signals.

The encoders use the company’s OptoASIC technology with high integration density that results in fewer components and connection points, increasing operational reliability.

The Rock-Tenn paperboard mill in Aurora, Ill., automated the positioning and tensioning of belts on its conveyor system with low-cost motors and drives paired with absolute encoders.

The AFS single-turn and AFM multi-turn absolute encoders with SSI (synchronous serial interface) output feature a new bearing design and metal code disc that extends the life of each encoder ...

Posital is rolling out a new generation of single and multiturn absolute encoders. These come with performance up to 18-bit resolution, improved energy efficiency and a Wiegand package featuring a new ...

With the introduction of its SES and SEM absolute encoders, SICK has delivered a motor feedback system with the standard HIPERFACE® interface that takes precision and reliability to the next level for ...

This series of low-cost, modular absolute encoders is suited to severe electrical (EMI) and physical (high temperature, vibration and moisture) environments. The units will convert any shaft input ...
