Special hardware can overcome software latency that may otherwise negate precise motion control. Precision motion control is virtually never an end in itself. Rather, it ties position to other events ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Gimbals are often used in systems that require the rotation of an object or sub-system about one or more axes. Applications of gimbals include camera stabilization for aerial photography and ...

It’s easy to treat optical encoders as “black boxes” that need minimal consideration before they are installed to translate rotary motion into position or velocity feedback signals for a motion ...

Renishaw offers a comprehensive range of non-contact encoders for position and motion control. These vary from open or enclosed optical, magnetic and laser encoders. Discover how our different types ...

The A2K Absolute Optical Encoder from US Digital can be assembled onto existing shaft and bearing assemblies. The encoder reports the shaft angle within a single 360° rotation of a shaft. Last year, ...
