Encoders, whether rotary or linear, absolute or incremental, typically use one of two measuring principles—optical or magnetic. While optical encoders were, in the past, the primary choice for high resolution applications, improvements in magnetic encoder technology now allow them to…

Complementary Encoder Signals to mitigate the electrical noise
Electrical noise is a common problem that occurs during the transmission of an incremental encoder’s signal to the receiving electronics, especially when the cable lengths are very long. Stray electromagnetic fields or currents induce unwanted voltages into the signal. These…
Optical Encoders in Brushless Servo Motors
The trend towards wide scale use of Brushless Motors is being driven by manufacturing cost reductions, improved efficiencies, greater reliability, availability of improved drive electronics, and the availability of improved sensors for motor control. The brushless motors, independently whether they…
