Servo motors require accurate rotary encoder feedback for proper function. Install the wrong encoder and you could end up with an expensive doorstop. Here are a few tips to help ensure successful specification of BEPc’s Model 15T/H— both for new servo applications or for cross-reference replacement. Industrial-duty servo motor applications are a tall order for any incremental rotary encoder. Enclosed in a cover with […]
Linear measurement is a common incremental rotary encoder application. BEPc has simplified the task by integrating the encoder, measuring wheel, torsion arm, spring and pivot bracket into The Model TR3 Heavy Duty TruTrac. The TR3 is the focus of this new video from Encoder Products Company (EPC). Wheels and encoders have both been around for a while (one of those much longer than the other, of course), so what makes […]
A VERY basic introduction If you Google encoder, you’ll get a vast and confusing array of responses. For our purposes, encoders are used in machinery for motion feedback and motion control. Encoders are found in machinery in all industries. You’ll find encoders used in cut-to-Length applications, plotters, robotics, packaging, conveying, automation, sorting, filling, imaging, and many, many more. You may […]
