Constructed from clean vacuum-compatible adhesives and materials, the all-new RESOLUTE UHV optical encoder delivers proven clean residual gas analysis (RGA) and low outgassing rates, making it suitable for high performance scientific and semiconductor applications that […]
Baumer launches compact absolute encoder series MHAD
Baumer (www.baumer.com) has unveiled its small absolute encoder series MHAD, which seamlessly combines the functional capabilities of an absolute encoder with the product benefits of narrow dimensions. With a very compact design, the encoder measures only 50 mm in diameter and 20 mm deep. This makes the encoder easy to fit into tight areas where […]
What are Absolute Encoders? Technical Summary for Motion Engineers
Encoders can be either absolute or incremental. Absolute encoders have a unique code for each shaft position. Or in other words, every position of an absolute encoder is distinctive. The absolute encoder interprets a system of coded tracks to create position information where no two positions are identical. Another feature is that absolute encoders do […]
