Check out Sensata's multi-turn absolute encoders, designed for industrial applications.

Encoders are used in a variety of manufacturing plants, primarily to determine a motion control axis position or to obtain speed feedback.

Broadcom AR18 & AR35 is a series of miniature programmable absolute encoders with 6-channel incremental output. User programmable resolution ranges from 17 bits to 21 bits.

SICK's DFS2x line of incremental encoders have the North American style 2 inch and 2.5 inch housing. These are manufactured in Minneapolis, Minn. for fast delivery and feature our revolutionary mechanical design.

A traditional optical encoder is a very simple sensor that uses a fixed code disc (a circular slotted ring to cyclically manipulate a light source) to produce an electrical signal, usually a square wave output.

In this video, learn more about the basic operating principles of incremental encoders and absolute encoders as well as their advantages and disadvantages depending on your design requirements.

BEI Sensors脱身于Sensata Technologies，专门针对极端应用提供速度和位置传感器。 其MHM5和MHK5系列编码器旨在精确测量工业应用中的旋转匝数。 两个系列的防护等级均为IP65，采用不锈钢轴，以及由坚固塑料制成的编码盘。 产品具有13位的单匝分辨率和12位的匝数，并且可以与以太网或ProfitNet实现电气连接。

Incremental encoders output a square wave when the shaft is turned. The Z channel (also called the marker channel) emits 1 pulse per rotation.

AMT Series from Same Sky is a range of rugged, high accuracy modular encoders available in incremental, absolute, and commutation versions.

In this edition of SICK's Encoder Videobytes you will learn the main differences between Incremental and Absolute encoders. Positions, types of reads and interfaces will covered.

In this installment of encoder videobytes, we take a closer look at absolute encoders, which have a unique positional value based on the position of the shaft. There are two different types of absolute encoders: single-turn or multi-turn.

Learn about the various electrical output types for Incremental encoders. This video will focus on TTL, 5V Line Driver; HTL Push-Pull; and Open Collector outputs.

Encoders are used in a variety of manufacturing plants, primarily to determine a motion control axis position or to obtain speed feedback.

When working with rotating knobs or motor shafts, it’s often useful to be able to track how far they've moved. In this video Zach discusses the different types of encoders and how to read a quadrature output using a microcontroller.

Encoders are used in a variety of manufacturing plants, primarily to determine a motion control axis position or to obtain speed feedback. A traditional optical encoder is a very simple sensor that uses a fixed code disc.

In this video, Lisa Eitel and Paul Heney of Design World unpack three encoders from BEI Sensors. The feedback devices are part of BEI’s new LP Series line of very compact and rugged encoders.

Learn more about Sensata's functional safety encoders, rated up to SIL3/ PLe Cat 4.
