The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

This application note demonstrates how to read data from the two-channel output of an incremental rotary encoder. Data from these two channels are based on the Gray Encoding System and can be used to ...

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 ...

Today’s medical equipment is often tasked with performing incredibly complex, highly sensitive procedures that require the utmost levels of precision and attention to detail. Technologies like motion ...

Mini 24 V Servo Actuator with Dual Absolute Encoder and Panel Mount Connectors Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C from Electromate feature BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both ...
