Linear guideways with built-in encoders are transforming precision motion systems by combining guidance and feedback in one ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

NUMERIK JENA, known for high quality smaller package-size linear and rotary encoders, has now developed two families of absolute linear encoders to fit into tight spaces. Called the LAK and KIT LA, ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - May 29, 2013) - The new absolute LC 195S and LC 495S sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines that need to be certified for ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - December 04, 2013) - HEIDENHAIN's LC 200 linear encoder continues to set the standard in linear measurement on long machine tool axes. Now available with a Mitsubishi ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...
