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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
