Optical rotary encoders, sensors used everyday in industrial applications, provide instantaneous and continuous data on rotational motion. Designed to monitor speed, position, distance, and direction ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

There is an ever-increasing demand for accuracy in many manufacturing industries. Adding to this general need for higher accuracy is the fact that industry sectors such as semiconductors and ...
