Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

A new miniature incremental encoder brings metrology-grade precision to space-restricted motion systems, offering high ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

Milwaukee-GE Marquette Medical Systems manufactures monitoring and diagnostic systems. The DASH 2000/3000 is a compact portable monitor used in ambulances by emergency medical technicians to track ...

Do your users like to tinker with scripts? Keep yours out of harm's way by using Microsoft's Script Encoder. Greg Shultz shows you how to use the Encoder for basic script protection. If you’ve been ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...
