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.

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… ...

Insights into the use of built-in accelerometers and additional sensors in encoders to enable predictive maintenance and condition monitoring while simplifying installation and cabling. The FOT ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications — on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

ZS Systems LLC, dba ZS Instruments, has received a two-year, $1 million Phase II SBIR from the National Science Foundation to develop a novel method to produce high-accuracy optical encoders. Optical ...
