Relative and Absolute are two primary types of rotary encoders. A quadrature encoder is in the relative encoder family and is most commonly used in high-speed motor control systems; it also ...

Leine & Linde’s 800 rotary encoder series now includes an integrated over-speed capability with programmable switching speeds.

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos f… ...

The encoder is attached to the motor shaft and delivers signals that will indicate speed or position. Rotary encoders come in two basic flavors: incremental and absolute.

Encoders are also being used to automate transportation, as with Sweden’s high-speed train, the SJ3000, which employs a custom-made, absolute MC 400 encoder from Leine Linde.

The SKM 36 SinCos Motor Feedback System is a multi-turn rotary encoder that tracks absolute position over 4,096 turns. The SKM 36 features a minimum number of components to allow miniature and ...
