A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based encoder, the Shaft-Tracker from Computer Conversions Corp. can replace less reliable optical shaft encoders. The device provides both incremental and true ...

Selecting the wrong encoder can lead to downtime, costly redesigns, and unreliable feedback. This guide breaks down the fundamentals of rotary and linear position sensing — and explains when ...
