Small rotary encoders are a big thing these days. Our E16, E4T and E8T optical encoders provide digital quadrature feedback for high volume, restricted space applications.   Read More »

When it comes to encoder size, there are a few things to keep in mind: the overall dimensions of the encoder housing, the bolt circle and shaft/bore size. In this post, we’ll go over each item in detail to help you make the right decision.   Read More »

An encoder is a sensor that translates physical motion into electrical data. That data can be used by a control device to determine speed, acceleration and position.   Read More »

The new M3K Miniature Magnetic Encoder is available with incremental output or an incremental and 12-bit absolute output configuration.   Read More »

In our latest “Fascinating Tales of Imagination & Ingenuity in Automation” video, you’ll see what happens when our core principles of insourcing processes and continuous improvement collide.   Read More »

When our engineering team looked for opportunities to improve processes in our injecting molding department, they set their sights on creating a machine vision system to automate the manufacturing of a key component.   Read More »

Our encoders are used in a variety of fields – everything from manufacturing automation, aerospace, textile manufacturing, solar power to exercise equipment. In this post we’re excited to put the spotlight on Hydrow which is revolutionizing the rowing machine.   Read More »

The new E16 Micro Optical Kit Encoder has a 10mm bolt circle, fits 1.5mm (0.059″) and 2mm (0.079″) shafts and provides A, B and Index digital quadrature signals. It comes in a variety of resolutions ranging from 250/256 to 4,000/4,096 CPR.   Read More »

Most companies will tell you that they have a stellar customer service team, but we are confident we can actually back up that claim. That’s because one of our core beliefs is that we are here to help our customers succeed.   Read More »

US Digital introduces the EC35, a high performance 35mm commutation kit encoder ideal for BLDC motors. The EC35 is high resolution, has more accurate timing than Hall effect sensors, and provides simple assembly for OEM applications.   Read More »
