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 ...

A quadrature encoder uses two output channels offset in phase to detect both direction and position with greater precision.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...
