‘Absolute Encoders’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SDI torque pickup has internal digital data link from Sensor Developments, which we summarised at the time by saying "SDI's model 01424 can be utilised with a variety of instrumentation systems to measure rotating torque, including the 90386 USB Sensor Link. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Rotary encoders provide 1nm and 2nm resolutions from Renishaw: "Renishaw has introduced 1nm and 2nm resolution versions of its Tonic incremental encoder range.".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from RDP Electronics - take a look at RDP transducers give direct analogue output which says: "RDP Electronics' rugged MTS R Series analogue transducers are suited to a range of industrial applications that require a direct analogue output for continuous measurement of displacement and speed. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Sick Stegmann, SICK introduces single- and multi-turn encoders, as well as Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech, and Universal Robot increases production capacity from Rodriguez (UK).
