This application note describes the capabilities of HEDS-8949/HEDS-8969 alignment software, code wheel setup, and the alignment of an AEAT-9000-1GSH0 and AEAT-9000-1GSH1 absolute encoder. Both of the ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

Multiturn absolute encoders resemble any absolute encoder where light shines through an etched disc that has a combination of ON and OFF signals. resemble any absolute encoder where light shines ...

The ECI 119 is an absolute, inductive rotary encoder with a low profile (height of 19mm, outside diameter 92mm) and large through shaft (50, 38, or 30mm), making it well suited for electric motors in ...

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 ...

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 ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

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 ...

Where aggressive environmental and challenging production conditions combine to put the most demanding stresses on control systems the functionality, durability and reliability of the components is ...
