A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which …

Linear encoders measure the position of linear axes without intervening mechanical elements. This eliminates a series of potential error sources such as backlash, pitch error, or heating of the …

Comprehensive overview of linear encoders including optical, magnetic, inductive and capacitive types, incremental vs absolute outputs, precision metrics, error compensation, calibration and maintenance …

Monitor objects, switch equipment on and off, and send data to control systems with a single device. Choose from our selection of linear encoders in a wide range of styles and sizes. Same and Next …

A wide range of linear scale types, such as rugged tape, high-accuracy steel spar or low-expansion ZeroMet™ spar, are available to suit different applications.

A linear encoder is a type of sensor or transducer used to monitor and measure the position, speed, direction, movement, or speed of an object. This device moves in various directions but travels along …

Linear encoders work by using sensors to detect the position of a scale marked with patterns. The readhead reads these patterns and converts them into analog or digital signals, which are then …

Boost productivity—and performance—with fast, accurate linear encoders When you need the highest positioning accuracy, only linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN can get the job done.

What is a Linear Encoder? A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer, or measuring device that detects linear movement or position along a single axis and converts it into electrical signals.

Discover the different types of linear encoders, including optical, magnetic, capacitive, inductive, and laser encoders. Learn about their principles of operation, advantages, disadvantages, and …
