AEDR-871x is a series of 3-channel high resolution reflective incremental encoder which has digital output. This application note discusses the features, advantages, and proper placement of AEDR-871x.

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has expanded its family of miniature reflective incremental optical encoders with a new high resolution encoder. Touted as the industry's smallest, the ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

As per its creator, the AEAT-6600-T16 debuts as the industry’s highest-resolution Hall-Effect magnetic encoder. The component targets industrial applications, particularly those in harsh environments.
