The MRA-F wire-draw mechanism combined with an absolute or incremental encoder measures linear paths up to 50 m. Drum rotation is proportional to wire-extension length. The amount of rotation is ...

My previous blog Encoders Know All the Angles introduced encoders that provide information about rotary positions. A diagram illustrated the phase relationship of signals from an incremental encoder.

A new, higher performance, self-aligning, self-centering and self-gapping Size 21 modular encoder has been designed with a small axial length of 0.84" maximum. Touted as a revolutionary product, the ...
