Linear Encoders These measure straight-line motion. Sensor heads that attach to the moving piece of machinery run along guideways. Those sensors are linked to a scale inside of the encoder that ...

Optical encoders, which provide a digital square-wave feedback signal, include quadrature (incremental), absolute, and pseudorandom types.

These types of encoders need much higher bandwidth than standard encoders — sometimes in excess of 40 MHz. So when there is no alternative to a high-resolution encoder, the receiving electronics ...

The information from either type of encoder—linear or rotary—is used by a motion controller to calculate position, speed, distance, and direction. Optical, Magnetic or Capacitive Once the type of ...

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 functional safety. The dual sealing lips on the LC ...

HEIDENHAIN is adding another absolute linear kit encoder to its already successful kit encoder family. The LIC 2100 series was developed as an addition to HEIDENHAIN’s LIC 4000/LIC 4100 encoders to ...

Munich, Germany – Austriamicrosystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. They feature a new line of magnetic ...
