I received this e-mail from a potential customer who is trying to determine why he had a skewed encoder waveform. His name has been changed to protect his identity. Hi Jim, I have just come across your page on RPM calculation using an optical encoder and oscilloscope. I was keen...

The QR145, QR200 and QR12 series of optical encoders have 28 AWG conductors in the standard flying lead cable. This gauge of cable is excellent for tight bends and fitting in applications where space is a premium. The conductors can easily handle the 250 mA max current requirement of the...

When using an incremental rotary encoder, you often have to know how many pulses there are per degree of rotation. This is a very straightforward math problem. Pulses per Degree = Number of encoder pulses per rotation/Number of degrees in a circle For a 5,000 line count incremental encoder we...

We have always been able to come up with a suitable replacement for Renco encoders, but our customers are making us aware that we need to point that out. For those who don’t know, Renco, after being absorbed by Heidenhain, made the decision to eliminate much of their encoder product...
