This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of ...
Like linear encoder, a rotary encoder can also be either incremental or absolute. The rotary encoders are widely used for velocity control, temperature control, position sensing, and volume control.
Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...
Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
SCHAUMBURG, USA: HEIDENHAIN releases its newest addition to vacuum encoder technology with the LIP 400 series linear encoder system. Procedures using vacuum technology have become indispensable in the ...
The dual sealing lips on the LC 195S provide an extra layer of protection against contamination, and their extrusions ensure high vibration resistance, improving reliability and accuracy. Improving on ...
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 ...
To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...
