Aura P is a high-resolution absolute encoder in a super-compact form-factor. Credit INMOCO The Aura P is presented in a connection-ready PCBA (printed circuit board assembly), enabling fast and easy ...

Optical encoders are nothing new; they can be found in everything from mice to printers. They’re great for allowing DC motors to know their exact position and even current direction. If this is ...

Understanding optical encoders – Optical linear encoders can provide a high-resolution feedback signal and can work in dirty industrial environments. Optical linear encoders can provide a ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

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 ...
