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 ...

AutomationDirect has expanded its Koyo encoder product line to include additional incremental encoder output options and higher resolutions for absolute encoders. The TRD-S series of 6mm solid shaft ...

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 ...

Avago Technologies announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for high-performance servo and motor feedback applications. Avago Technologies announced a high-resolution absolute optical ...

This application note demonstrates how to read data from the two-channel output of an incremental rotary encoder. Data from these two channels are based on the Gray Encoding System and can be used to ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for ...
