In linear motor applications, selecting a suitable encoder can be the most determining factor in ensuring dynamics, precision, and, above all, reliability. Encoder as a component for machinery automation The speed of the servo controller’s control loop improves with the encoder’s resolution. In summary, the proper selection of the encoder plays a crucial role in the correct functioning of the application. Take advantage of our expertise and reduce the time for selecting the right encoder, whether in terms of technology, precision, or cost. Although sometimes the application may not require high precision, having a high-resolution encoder can contribute to achieving higher dynamics. Types of encoder solutions as available components Currently, we offer different encoder technologies: –Magnetic: Magnetic encoders operate uniquely by reading previously magnetized marks. –Optical: Optical encoders use the refraction of a light beam on the measuring scale. This technology utilizes optical principles to accurately measure position changes and provides an effective solution for motion measurement in applications. –Inductive: The scale is made of metal with machined slots at constant intervals, and the read head detects the inductance, which varies its value depending on whether there is metal or a slot on the scale. Each of them offers certain advantages, but also limitations. Often, the environment in which the linear encoder is used determines which technology is the most suitable.
