Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

TT Electronics has announced the launch of new FlexSense series that consists of FS210 Transmissive Incremental Encoder and FS310 Reflective Incremental Encoder Sensors. This new revolutionary ...

TT Electronics, today announced the launch of FlexSense, a revolutionary technology designed to optimize optical encoder applications. The FlexSense series consists of the FS210 Transmissive ...

This application note demonstrates how to read data from the two-channel output of an incremental rotary encoder. Data from these two channels are based on the Gray Encoding System and can be used to ...

This extended version of the AMT10 series achieves this by increasing the internal sinusoidal pattern count by 2.5 times, which in effect increases the standard resolution set by 2.5 times. Featuring ...

For position sensing applications, many engineers are still specifying incremental sensors because they believe absolute versions are too complex and/or costly. Darran Kreit, Technical Manager at ...

Abstract: For the motor in robot joint or servo systems, an incremental encoder is typically used as the position sensor. Considering the rotor's position may change after each power off, it is ...

Measuring the position of a rotating shaft, speed or direction of motion typically requires a rotary encoder. The two main types of encoding techniques are: absolute and incremental encoders. The ...

If you’ve never really understood the difference between incremental and absolute measurement, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Plenty of engineers have never really got to grips with this terminology.

Abstract: Well-known methods of vector control of permanent magnet synchronous motor suppose that before starting the motion the initial position of the rotor magnetic axis with respect to the stator ...
