AEDR-871x is a series of 3-channel high resolution reflective incremental encoder which has digital output. This application note discusses the features, advantages, and proper placement of AEDR-871x.

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has expanded its family of miniature reflective incremental optical encoders with a new high resolution encoder. Touted as the industry's smallest, the ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

It’s easy to treat optical encoders as “black boxes” that need minimal consideration before they are installed to translate rotary motion into position or velocity feedback signals for a motion ...

A novel absolute encoder module that comes in 12- and 16-bit versions uses a modular approach to reduce the number of assembly steps from as many as eight down to just four (see the figure). Agilent ...

Encoders are widely used to help control machine position and speed. Typical encoder output, a series of quadrature signals, consists of two full square waves, offset by 90° in phase. The number of ...
