These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

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 ...

The IXARC family of rotary encoders from POSITAL-FRABA has been expanded to include incremental encoders. These new encoders make use of the company’s latest precision magnetic measurement technology.

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 ...

Engineers use rotary encoders to measure the angular position of an attached device, such as a motor shaft, or to measure distance indirectly when used with a linear belt drive, for example. Rotary ...

Deemed as some of the most cost-effective miniature incremental encoders around, the OPE1275 and OPE2275 single- and dual-channel encoders are designed specifically for use in printer motors, machine ...
