The resolver-to-encoder converter (REC) module processes resolver signals to emulate a 1,024-line encoder, providing 4,096 quadrature counts/turn. The REC unit provides 10 selectable excitation ...

Read part 1 of this series on rotary sensors in electric vehicles which covers the use of resolvers and encoders. In an electric vehicle, unless the manufacturer has a means to control vibrations ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

With its new digital outputs and multi-turn measurement ranges, the new kit encoder from Posital has more performance options than traditional resolvers—at the same time offering lower costs and ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
