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 ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

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 ...
