An exposed incremental linear encoder from Heidenhain Corp., Schaumburg, Ill., combines a photolithographically produced grating on its scale tape with newly designed scanning optics to guarantee high ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

In industrial applications requiring high levels of precision, the position encoder impacts the velocity control and positioning of linear motors and results in quiet motor operation with less heat ...

Using a technology similar to a magnetic tape or disk platter, the Siko Products MSK5000 linear/rotary encoder is a 5-mm-wide band with programmable resolution to 1 micron (0.001 mm) (Picture). In ...
