Optical encoders are electromechanical motion sensor and feedback devices comprising of a photodetector, LED light source, along with a disc with slot apertures. The benefits of optical encoders ...

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 ...

Optical encoders have been used to measure position, speed, acceleration and motion direction for decades, but now they are finding new applications where high performance and miniaturization are ...
