Rotary encoders come in two basic varieties: absolute encoders report the actual position of the shaft at a specific time, while incremental encoders indicate relative changes in the shaft’s position.

Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

An absolute encoder provides a unique binary output as the encoder's shaft rotates. If you require an absolute location with, say, a 15-minute resolution or 1,440 unique codes, a 12-bit absolute ...

The AEAS-7 series absolute optical encoders supply position information without requiring shaft movement. The units generate a unique binary word for each shaft position, allowing ...

The AFS single-turn and AFM multi-turn absolute encoders with SSI (synchronous serial interface) output feature a new bearing design and metal code disc that extends the life of each encoder ...

DROs allow machine operators to read the position where machining stops, even when power is turned off or lost. KBC TOOLS & MACHINERY is offering absolute encoders with digital read outs (DROs) that ...
