Project Pitlane ventilators use Encoders Covid19

US Digital encoders may play a role in helping save lives during the coronavirus pandemic. Project Pitlane, a group of seven UK-based F1 teams working together to design and make ventilators, placed an order for several thousand E5 Optical Encoders in early April. The...

Encoder resolution accuracy and precision

If you need an encoder that can measure very small distances, which of the following is most important to you: high accuracy, high precision or high resolution? If you said "high resolution," nice work. You got the answer right. If you didn't, don't worry you aren't...

How does an encoder work?

Encoders can use a variety of technologies to turn physical motion into electrical data. In this post (and the above video) we look at how optical incremental encoders work. Before we begin, we want to clarify that this is an oversimplified explanation of how our rotary...
