We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Absolute Encoders",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Encoder range covers many options from
Lika Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "Incremental and absolute encoders have a wide range of applications, and are available with a wide range of sizes, shaft types and output options".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Optical encoders elevate performance in lifts from
Industrial Encoder Corporation: "The IH950 and IH103 are available in any resolution up to a maximum of 50,000pulse/rev".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Hayes Control Systems
concerning its AM3500 low-inertia servomotors
- take a look at Low-inertia servomotors suit high dynamic motion
which says: "AM3500 motors are particularly suitable for highly dynamic applications with high loads, for machine tool axes or gearless applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Motion Solutions Australia, Motion control aids nuclear research,
as well as Robot suits fast assembly of small components from TM Robotics (Europe),
and Positioning drive automates change-over from TR Controls.
