Moving from fixed speed to variable speed motors with position and current feedback provides a path to huge process and energy savings. This article provides an overview of motor encoders (position ...

Rotary encoding is a common mechanism for the delivery of accurate speed, acceleration, and position of the motor rotor. Rotary encoders are commonly deployed in the closed-loop rotor systems used in ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

Kollmorgen’s AKM and AKM2G servo motors with the new SFD-M encoder, along with its AKD and AKD2G servo drives, are ...

Kit encoders can also be installed on stepper motors to provide integrated feedback to the control system, improving accuracy by eliminating positioning errors due to skipped steps.

Insights into the use of built-in accelerometers and additional sensors in encoders to enable predictive maintenance and condition monitoring while simplifying installation and cabling. The FOT ...

SICK has released safety-certified versions of its TTK70 and TTK50 magnetic absolute linear encoders with Hiperface° interface, widening the opportunities for accurate, absolute motor feedback systems ...

QPT has unveiled MicroDyno, what it describes as a breakthrough low-voltage motor drive test platform which demonstrates the ...

Robotics, conveying, filling, the lift industry, cut-to-length applications, robotics, and motor feedback are just a few industries that frequently use encoders.
