Sponsored by Encoder Products Company, Harmonic Drive LLC, maxon, Performance Motion Devices Gray code is a form of binary and the most popular absolute encoder output type. This white paper will ...

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 ...

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 ...

My previous blog Encoders Know All the Angles introduced encoders that provide information about rotary positions. A diagram illustrated the phase relationship of signals from an incremental encoder.

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 ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - June 04, 2013) - To meet the demand in more motion control applications, HEIDENHAIN has once again expanded its rotary encoder product line with either EnDat or SSI ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - December 10, 2013) - As the demand for functionally safe equipment products grows, so does HEIDENHAIN's component product offerings. Now new to the market are HEIDENHAIN ...

16-mm-thick device slashes parts count over standard motion-control solutions Offered as the industry's smallest such device, the AEAS-7500 high-speed absolute encoder module is only 16 mm thick.
