Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Gray codes, also known as reflected binary codes, offer a clever way to minimize errors when digital signals transition between states. By ensuring that only one bit ...

Designed for automotive, medical, and industrial applications, C&K has developed a new optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-position optical encoder with an integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...
