Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the optical rotary encoder, a low-cost, high-resolution, easy-to-use sensor for indicating incremental shaft position (although it can be “upgraded” to indicate absolute ...

Rotary encoders have been key components in motion and position control systems since the earliest days of digital controls, translating rotary motion into digital feedback signals for control systems ...

Rotary engines are a work of automotive genius, but they are oftentimes avoided because of their known reliability issues. Luckily for us, if you're interested in a rotary engine-having vehicle, there ...

In many mechanical systems, precise motion hinges upon effective monitoring and control of the motor. Encoders make motion control possible by sensing the motor’s speed and position and sending ...
