Eltra Device Considers: Here’s What You Should Know
Eltra linear encoders check linear change and render position response in the form of electrical impulses. Furthermore, linear encoders provide precise position information for loads in servo-driven systems, in addition to the speed and direction data provided by a rotary encoder on the motor itself. According to the manufacturer, the addition of a linear encoder to stepper-driven systems, which generally operate in open-loop mode with no position feedback, increases the accuracy and reliability of the positioning system without the price and complexity of a servo motor. To choose the linear encoder for a given application, first determine if the application needs absolute or incremental feedback. Incremental Encoder An incremental encoder…
