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 rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

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.
