To control motion on a machine or electromechanical system you need continuous positional feedback from the moving parts. That’s where encoders enter the picture. But how do you determine which one is ...

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.

How position encoders should communicate with controllers often depends on compatibility issues rather than raw speed. An absolute encoder includes a coding disk in binary or gray code format, the ...
