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 encoders are electromechanical motion sensor and feedback devices comprising of a photodetector, LED light source, along with a disc with slot apertures. The benefits of optical encoders ...

Optical encoders have been used to measure position, speed, acceleration and motion direction for decades, but now they are finding new applications where high performance and miniaturization are ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Get the most out of brushless dc motors by specifying optical encoders. They measure finer movements than hall sensors, because their operation doesn't rely on motor phases. Brushless dc (BLDC) motors ...

A new miniature incremental encoder brings metrology-grade precision to space-restricted motion systems, offering high ...

NovaPlus machines use an array of horizontal and vertical axes to perform multiple functions simultaneously. Amicra Microtechnologies of Regensburg, Germany, develops and manufactures precision ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for ...
