[Pete] needed a rotary encoder for one of his project so he set out to build his own. As the name implies, a rotary encoder measures rotation by encoding “steps” into electrical signals… ...

Whether incremental or absolute, magnetic or optical, rotary encoders track motor shaft rotation to generate digital position and motion information. Their use proliferates in ...

Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these i… ...

Encoder technologies abound, but software, wiring, and embedded microprocessors let designers tailor magnetic-encoder performance to application requirements.

These devices are ideal for oil and gas installations, chemical plants, woodworking operations, grain handling facilities and ...

POSITAL’s measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders enables these devices to make accurate linear motions and position measurements. “Encoders are great for measuring ...
