Titled "Integrated feedback solutions", the publication features individual product sections on encoders, resolvers, rotary programmable limit switches, manual pulse generators and accessories.
Each section describes the benefits of each technology and lists well-suited industries or applications.
Standard products are offered in addition to ideas for customisation.
A user-friendly menu system allows customers to construct a part number based on their application requirements.
A checklist is also included to ensure that the proper considerations were made during specification.
The product selection section features step-by-step instructions, a selection chart and application examples.
This is supported by an engineering section, which shows the effects of gearing, life expectations, and the benefits of multiple feedback components to simultaneously increase resolution and extend absolute range of measurement.
In addition, the engineering section introduces a series of equations that will identify rotary error by relating accuracy, resolution and linearity.
Finally, the installation section lists a step-by-step procedure for quick and convenient mounting.
