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, ...

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 ...

As you may recall, I am a man who wears many hats. For example, one of my roles is Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at LogiSwitch, where our mission is to debounce the signals coming from ...

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 ...

Developed specifically for mechanical drive and lift-engineering applications, the RHI90N series incremental rotary encoders provide high accuracy with pulse counts up to 2,500 ppr at 10- to 30-Vdc ...

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 ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
