Choosing the right encoder
10 June, 2014 by Joe Kimbrell, Product Manager, Drives, Motors and Motion, Automation DirectEncoders are special sensors that capture position information and relay that data to other devices. They are used to determine the position, velocity and direction of a motor shaft or other mechanical motion. They provide information required for the precise control of a variety of applications, such as positioning a rotary table, pick and place, machine assembly, packaging, robotics and more.
