New encoder technology eliminates the reliability-accuracy tradeoff

February 16, 2017 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Encoders are everywhere — and are vital in industrial, aerospace, energy, automotive and robotic applications.  Operation in many of these applications involves operation in severe conditions. Consider a particularly extreme case: When building a robot that may one day mine for water on Mars, how does an engineer decide on the most suitable components to use?  There’s usually a […]

What are capacitive encoders and where are they suitable?

October 29, 2015 By Danielle Collins 1 Comment

capacitive encoders

Two types of encoders dominate the general industrial market—optical and magnetic. But capacitive encoders, a relatively new introduction, offer resolution comparable to optical devices, with the ruggedness of magnetic encoders. Currently, there are only a handful of vendors for capacitive encoders, but their suitability for applications requiring high precision and durability make them a good […]
