The Mercury II digital encoder, for high-performance motion-control applications, is available in four models with resolutions ranging from 5- µm to 1.2-nm linear or 20k to 268M-CPR rotary. The ...

Whether incremental or absolute, magnetic or optical, rotary encoders track motor shaft rotation to generate digital position and motion information. Their use proliferates in industrial and ...

HEIDENHAIN unveils a new line of rotary encoders for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres . Many industries -- such as oil and gas, printing, and silage -- operate in such environments. The ExN 400 ...

2: Bourns’ AMS22S single-turn, magnetic rotary encoder resists side loads and axial forces acting on the shaft. The encoder uses a programmable quad Hall effect IC to measure rotational angle ...

Hirschmann's new gSENS DWG 20 rotary encoder uses optical sensors to break down one revolution of a shaft, of a hoist or slew drive unit, for example, into 8192 increments. The device then converts ...

The rotary encoder also has a sensor, transducer, and location reader. ... The encoder’s output digital signal provides position, velocity, and direction information. Today, ...

Editor’s Note: Here’s an ingenious solution to the “fine/coarse” problem one often runs into when using rotary encoders as controls. Who says you have to use a µC to add a touch of intelligence?

These digital opto encoders have just two outputs with four possible logic levels (00, 10, 11, 01). The relative position of the switch is insignificant but the direction of rotation is what matters.

To Baumer Hübner, "HeavyDuty" is an all-encompassing performance promise. First of all, this means that such a rotary encoder never lets its user down, even under the most difficult conditions ...
