SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - June 16, 2015) - NUMERIK JENA's Kit R rotary optical encoder is ideally suited for those motion feedback applications where installation space is limited. The scanning ...

With six channels, the RCM1 rotary optical encoder eliminates Hall-Effect sensors inside of motors. The 2.1-inch diameter encoder simplifies assembly and eliminates Hall sensor alignment, increasing ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

[Long Haired Hacker] has undertaken a high-resolution 3D printer build. He got his hands on some motors to drive the build platform but it doesn’t have a built-in encoder. He knows that optical ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. In many applications, accurately sensing the position of an electrically controlled mechanical device such as a motor is critical.

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 at ...
