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 involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of ...

A MCU makes motion control faster and more accurate while using less power. See how it improves encoder performance and system response.

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

According to [Lee Teschler], the classic representation of encoders showing code rings is out of date. His post says that most industrial absolute encoders use a special magnetic sensor known as a ...

Designed without gears to eliminate wear and sensitivity to magnetic fields, the Kübler by TURCK F36 optical encoder series features a compact size of only 36 mm ...

Designed with proprietary code-generating technology, the AMT Series modular incremental encoders cost less than $30 each and feature an onboard DIP switch with 16 selectable resolution options from ...
