Whether incremental or absolute, magnetic or optical, rotary encoders track motor shaft rotation to generate digital position and motion information. Their use proliferates in industrial and ...

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.

Is it really possible to build a rotary encoder out of a flattened tin can and a couple of photodetectors? Sure it’s possible, but what kind of resolution are you going to get from such a contraption?

Designed for large drive and rotary-shaft applications requiring EMI immunity, the MR314 ZapFree fiber-optic rotary encoder provides a resolution of 1,024 ppr. The passive rotary encoder links to the ...

Heidenhain has expanded its absolute rotary encoder offering with the new RIQ/IQN 425 series. These sturdy, inductive rotary encoders were designed for use in applications in the automation and wind ...

No integral electronics can be found within the encoder housing of a novel rotary incremental optical encoder. Micronor's entirely passive MR312 ZapFree encoder has an all-optical design. Thanks to ...
