FAQ: What are traditional and newer multi-turn measuring systems for encoders?

January 12, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

encoders absolute incremental

Edited by Zak Khan || Multi-turn measuring encoders are absolute encoders that can count multiple turns. Three main technologies enable such encoder design — batteries, gearing, and self-powering setups. Batteries and gears are traditional implementations of multi-turn technology; self-powering setups are newer. Batteries: Simple but incur replacement costs Batteries maintain power supply even during machine […]

Top encoder trends for 2015: Smarter, more reliable designs

March 5, 2015 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

1-Heidenhain-Absolute-Encoder-trends-2015

As critical components in motion control systems, encoders have come a long way from the mostly mechanical devices of yesteryear. We asked some leading encoder manufacturers to tell us how encoder designs are changing and what industries and applications are driving those changes. Here’s what those manufacturers said. 1. What are some of the key […]
