Quadrature encoders work inmany applications to determinedisplacement and direction of mechanicaltravel. They vary in design, butthey all do the same thing: supply a setof square waves 90° out of ...

Its low Z-height lets the encoder work with motion platform designs in semiconductor-processing equipment, electron microscopy, and other vacuum-rated applications.

Elma's E18 rotary encoder comes in through-hole and surface-mount versions in the 14.4 x 11.4 x 6.5mm body size.

Absolute rotary encoders work on motors up to 8,000rpm Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch).
