Understanding the fundamentals is key to a tailor-made solution. This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that ...

Using the right technology to measure position and rpm of a rotating shafts requires that designers understand the nuances of the various types of encoders. Encoders are widely used in the motion ...

To control motion on a machine or electromechanical system you need continuous positional feedback from the moving parts. That’s where encoders enter the picture. But how do you determine which one is ...

One of the options in their smart sensor range is the EB260 incremental encoder, a bearing less rotary encoder which combines ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

Today, there are a large number of different digital rotary encoders, which are used to measure the angle of any rotating object with high accuracy and convert this information into a digital code for ...

This article presents an introduction of using the Z32F128 Quadrature Encoder Peripheral application note. The article provides two examples of peripheral usage, and the mechanism of quadrature ...
