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 or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

In aviation the term fly-by-wire means that the control surfaces of an aircraft are operated by actuators rather than via cables and rods, with electrical signals transmitting information from the ...

The AEDR 8400 series are the industry’s smallest reflective incremental optical encoders, according to Avago Technologies. The encoders combine this extremely small size—3.00 mm by 3.28 mm by 1.262 mm ...

NUMERIK JENA’s LIK 41 kit-style optical linear encoder is ideally suited for those motion feedback applications where space is limited. NUMERIK JENA’s LIK 41 kit-style optical linear encoder is ...

Optical encoders have been used to measure position, speed, acceleration and motion direction for decades, but now they are finding new applications where high performance and miniaturization are ...

NUMERIK JENA’s LIK 2 optical linear encoder series is now ready for high and ultra high vacuum applications where motion feedback is required inside the vacuum chamber. This small non-contact encoder ...

iC-Haus will demonstrate its latest 26bit resolution optical encoder IC at SPS next month in Nuremberg. iC-RT2624, as it will be known, is aimed at both housed and kit encoders, and will achieve its ...
