Three encoder choices are available, two sine/cosine encoders for traditional motion controllers and an absolute encoder with BiSS-C transfer protocol.

LMD products with absolute encoders include a fully programmable motion controller and may be operated in several modes including: closed-loop, torque control, and variable current control for energy ...

HEIDENHAIN’s family of KGM grid encoders have once again been improved to better meet the needs of CNC-controlled machine users who require accuracy testing.

Encoders are also being used to automate transportation, as with Sweden’s high-speed train, the SJ3000, which employs a custom-made, absolute MC 400 encoder from Leine Linde.

The encoder, dubbed ‘mechanical absolute encoder’, combines mechanical gearing and magnetic sensing to provide unambiguous position feedback to the motor controller up to 1,800 revolutions, and so is ...
