Avago Technologies announced the expansion of its series of miniature reflective incremental optical encoders, which are currently the smallest in the industry, with a new high resolution encoder.

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...
