Products/Services for position encoder

Linear <B>Encoders</B>
Linear Encoders - (168 companies)

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position change for positional measurement and feedback to control systems. Search by Specification | Learn More

Incremental Rotary <B>Encoders</B>
Incremental Rotary Encoders - (286 companies)

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

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

Linear <B>Position</B> Sensors
Linear Position Sensors - (610 companies)

Linear position sensors is a general search form for all linear position / displacement detection product areas. Search by Specification | Learn More

<B>Position</B> Probes
Position Probes - (143 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

Absolute Rotary <B>Encoders</B>
Absolute Rotary Encoders - (203 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

Linear Slides and Linear Stages
Linear Slides and Linear Stages - (411 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

Rotary <B>Position</B> Sensors
Rotary Position Sensors - (148 companies)

Rotary position sensors include potentiometers, resolvers and a variety of magnetic and capacitive technologies. Sensors are designed for angular displacement less than one turn or for multiturn displacement. Search by Specification | Learn More

<B>Encoder</B> and Resolver Signal Conditioners
Encoder and Resolver Signal Conditioners - (106 companies)

Encoder and resolver signal conditioners accept encoder and resolver measurements and convert or condition these signals into digital data or suitable levels. Search by Specification | Learn More

Digital <B>Encoders</B>
Digital Encoders - (68 companies)

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

Magnetic Stripe Readers and Magnetic Stripe <B>Encoders</B>
Magnetic Stripe Readers and Magnetic Stripe Encoders - (113 companies)

Magnetic stripe readers and magnetic stripe encoders read and encode magnetic stripe cards, credit cards, etc. Learn More

ID Card Readers and <B>Encoders</B>
ID Card Readers and Encoders - (133 companies)

ID card readers and ID card encoders are used to transmit personal information onto various forms of storage media and retrieve this data as needed. Learn More

Rotary Stages
Rotary Stages - (115 companies)

Rotary positioning stages are devices with tables or shafts that may be rotated to any angular position. They may be driven or simple slides. Search by Specification | Learn More

Valve <B>Positioners</B>
Valve Positioners - (151 companies)

Valve positioners compare a control signal to a valve actuator’s position and move the actuator accordingly. They are used with both linear valves and rotary valves. Search by Specification | Learn More

Magnetostrictive <B>Position</B> Sensors
Magnetostrictive Position Sensors - (16 companies)

Magnetostrictive position sensors are non-contact linear position sensors that use the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields to produce a strain pulse that moves along a waveguide. One field is from a magnet that moves along the outside of the waveguide. The other field is from the waveguide itself. Search by Specification | Learn More
