Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

The quest for energy-efficient designs has made capacitive position encoders a hot topic. • The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize ...

Linear encoders are the sensors that detect linear movements as absolute position values without establishing a physical contact with the object. Linear encoders play a crucial role in determining the ...

• Capacitive sensing offers low operating currents, broad programmability, excellent temperature range tolerance, resistance to airborne contaminants, low cost, and extreme durability. • Commutation ...
