A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

The encoder achieves ±25-nm accuracy with glass scales. Operating speed at 50-nm resolution is 2 m/sec. The miniature sensor fits space-restricted motion-platform designs and works with ...

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 ...

12-bit universal magnetic position encoder IC includes linear Hall sensor array adapted to the targets’ magnetic pole pitch of 2 mm May 17, 2013 The iC-MHL200 from iC-Haus is a 12-bit IC for linear ...

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 ...
