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 ...

Optical encoders are critical components in systems with rotating shafts or parts. Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals.

Computer Conversions' Shaft-Tracker resolver-based encoder provides both incremental and true absolute position outputs with a resolution of 4096 counts/turn. A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has released the AEDT-9140 series of three-channel, high temperature optical incremental encoder modules for use in industrial and factory automation equipment.

Quadrature-output incremental optical shaft encoders are popular in high-performance, bidirectional rotation-sensing applications. Available with resolution options extending beyond 2000 ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.
