Here is a quick look at how contactless potentiometers work, where they are used, and why they are gaining ground.

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

Linear encoders with good joint spectra are suitable candidates for optimal lossless joint source-channel coding (JSCC), where the joint spectrum is a variant of the input–output complete weight ...

The DAX® linear encoder is suitable for measuring positions in many applications, including injection molding machines, presses, automotive machinery, printing and packaging machines, wind, hydro and ...

Jan. 17, 2023 - SICK launched a new linear encoder product family for high-precision detection of piston positions in hydraulic cylinders and the monitoring of linear movements in machines. The DAX ...

A recent study in Energies reviews the key characteristics of an optical encoder's accuracy, resolution, and repeatability. The experimental reading head for a Moiré effect-based linear optical ...

A linear encoder is a positional feedback device that consists of a sensor (readhead) and scale that work in conjunction to sense and feedback linear position.

Suitable for industrial applications, Lika’s range of linear encoders combines high performance with rugged mechanical design and a broad choice of options.

HEIDENHAIN’s LC 201 absolute linear scale was introduced to specifically meet the drive position feedback requirements of long machine tool axes that are being equipped with linear drives. The ...
