The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

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 ...

BEI Sensors is introducing its new functional safety incremental encoder range that is certified by TÜV Rheinland and can be used in the highest industrial safety related applications up to SIL3/PLe ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

SICK has unveiled its next-generation family of large-bore hollow-shaft incremental encoders, the SICK DGS80. An innovative design concept has opened up versatileintegration possibilities for the ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

The V-571.Z expands PI’s precision motion portfolio for photonics, semiconductor, optical alignment and metrology ...
