This application note demonstrates how to read data from the two-channel output of an incremental rotary encoder. Data from these two channels are based on the Gray Encoding System and can be used to ...

A new hollow-shaft version of the company’s MCD rotary encoder makes it easy to mount the device on shafts up to 20 mm in diameter. A new hollow-shaft version of the company’s MCD rotary encoder makes ...

Noncontact magnetic rotary encoders are hard to beat when it comes to measuring rotary motion in machinery, as they are relatively small, strong, and inexpensive devices compared to traditional ...

Continuing his tradition of making bits of wire and scraps of wood work wonders, [HomoFaciens] is back with a unique and clever design for an electromechanical encoder. There are lots of ways to build ...

Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these input ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - June 11, 2015) - When an automation system which includes an encoder must be certified to a specific Performance Level (PL) or Safety Integrity Level (SIL), the design ...
