San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies claims to introduce the industry's smallest reflective incremental optical encoder. Available in a surface-mount, lead-free package, the AEDR-8400 encoder ...

Advancements in computer and component technology have created a genesis in professional audio equipment, allowing studio mixing consoles to offer increased functionality in similar or smaller overall ...

Optical encoders are critical components in systems with rotating shafts or parts. Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals.

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Fashioned for easy installation into circular encoder housings common to industrial motors, the AEDT-9140 three-channel, high-temperature optical incremental encoder modules are available in a variety ...

The RESM encoder features a large diameter, low-profile stainless steel ring that mounts directly to the machine shaft, avoiding coupling losses, oscillation, shaft torsion and other hysteresis errors ...

Everyone has at least one extra mouse laying around; why not get some use out of it? Disassembling the mouse you can get two optical encoders plus four infrared emitter/detector pairs. Then you can ...
