AutomationDirect has expanded its Koyo encoder product line to include additional incremental encoder output options and higher resolutions for absolute encoders. The TRD-S series of 6mm solid shaft ...

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 ...

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 ...

Renishaw, is adding to its extensive optical encoder range with the launch of the Vionic series, a new set of ultra-high accuracy, super-compact all-in-one digital incremental encoders. Designed for ...

An absolute encoder includes a coding disk in binary or gray code format, the electronics to read it, and communications circuits. A multiturn encoder may have several disks connected by gears as ...

Munich, Germany – Austriamicrosystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. They feature a new line of magnetic ...

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 ...
