Incremental rotary encoders are multi-turn sensors that use optical, mechanical, or magnetic index-counting for angular measurement. They contain no absolute reference, but instead count relative to the turn-on position. Search by Specification | Learn More about Incremental Rotary Encoders

Rotary <B>Encoder</B> Disks
Rotary Encoder Disks - (12 companies)

Rotary encoder disks are round or disk-shaped and have evenly-spaced holes or markings around their perimeter. Learn More about Rotary Encoder Disks

Digital Readouts
Digital Readouts - (113 companies)

Digital readouts are specialized displays for position and dimension readings from inspection gages and linear scales, or rotary encoders on machine tools. Search by Specification | Learn More about Digital Readouts

<B>Linear</B> Velocity Sensors
Linear Velocity Sensors - (63 companies)

Linear velocity sensors measure the linear velocity of an object using either contact or non-contact techniques. Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Velocity Sensors

Cable Extension <B>Linear</B> Position Sensors
Cable Extension Linear Position Sensors - (26 companies)

Cable extension linear position sensors are used to measure the movement and displacement of objects. A cable or wire is attached to an object, and as the object moves, the transducer produces an electrical signal proportional to the wire's linear extension. Search by Specification | Learn More about Cable Extension Linear Position Sensors

Digital <B>Encoders</B>
Digital Encoders - (70 companies)

Digital encoders convert coded information into a familiar or uncoded format. Search by Specification | Learn More about Digital Encoders

Absolute Rotary <B>Encoders</B>
Absolute Rotary Encoders - (200 companies)

Absolute rotary encoders use optical, mechanical, or magnetic indexing for angular measurement. They do not lose their position after power-down, but instead provide absolute position upon power-up without requiring a home cycle or any shaft rotation. Search by Specification | Learn More about Absolute Rotary Encoders

<B>Optical</B> Triangulation Position Sensors
Optical Triangulation Position Sensors - (51 companies)

Optical triangulation position sensors use reflected waves to pinpoint position and displacement. The source of these waves may be a light emitting diode (LED), infrared (IR) light, or laser. Search by Specification | Learn More about Optical Triangulation Position Sensors

<B>Linear</B> Slides and <B>Linear</B> Stages
Linear Slides and Linear Stages - (409 companies)

Linear slides are simple linear motion devices composed of a stationary base and a moving carriage. Linear stages are slides with a drive mechanism that provide controlled, precise positioning along a linear axis. Search by Specification | Learn More about Linear Slides and Linear Stages

Position Probes
Position Probes - (145 companies)

Position probes measure the position of a target surface, usually with a high degree of accuracy. This search form covers many different linear position products. Search by Specification | Learn More about Position Probes

Time of Flight <B>Optical</B> Sensors
Time of Flight Optical Sensors - (37 companies)

Time of flight optical sensors determine displacement and distance by measuring the time it takes light to travel from the instrument to a target and back. Search by Specification | Learn More about Time of Flight Optical Sensors
