Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

Although integrated motor feedback is taking a growing share of the market for motion control systems, the future for standalone encoders continues to look bright.

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

This allows the heat to dissipate out the back, enhancing motor performance without increasing temperature requirements for the encoder. For example, in the KCI 1318 FOT and KBI 1335 FOT encoders, ...

Kollmorgen’s AKM and AKM2G servo motors with the new SFD-M encoder, along with its AKD and AKD2G servo drives, are ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

Robotics, conveying, filling, the lift industry, cut-to-length applications, robotics, and motor feedback are just a few industries that frequently use encoders.

QPT introduced MicroDyno, a low-voltage motor drive testbed that demonstrates the performance of ultra-high frequency ...

The encoder has a high resolution of 4000 CPR, with quadrature, it can reach 16,000 pulses per revolution. A 5-V and 24-V encoder is available, each with a line driver.
