Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

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 sensors can be utilized as encoders because they offer the performance and reliability needed for dynamic closed-loop control. They provide continuous, precise position feedback that permits ...
