At those times a special sensor called an encoder is attached to the motor shaft to monitor rpm. Encoders generate one or more series of pulse trains that feed to the motor-drive electronics.

The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a stepper motor with an optical encoder.

Here we investigate how certain high-end grinding applications have spurred the pairing of direct-drive torque motors with modular encoders.

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

Most incremental encoders fitted to asynchronous AC motors are general-purpose devices and may not be ideal for this application, says the German encoder specialist Sick l Stegmann. The company has ...

Encoder specialist POSITAL has expanded its line of kit-style encoders for feedback for servo and stepper motors with new models that utilize the same mounting form factor as incremental kit encoders ...

Kollmorgen’s AKM and AKM2G servo motors with the new SFD-M encoder, along with its AKD and AKD2G servo drives, are ...

HEIDENHAIN's new PressFit rotary encoders are uniquely designed for feedback and to ease mounting within small motors particularly during automated assembly.
