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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Heidenhain has expanded its absolute rotary encoder offering with the new RIQ/IQN 425 series. These sturdy, inductive rotary encoders were designed for use in applications in the automation and wind ...
