  2. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...

  3. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    Rotary incremental encoder with shaft attached to its thru-bore opening Introduction to incremental encoders, from VideoWiki script Incremental Encoder. An incremental encoder is a linear or rotary electromechanical device that has two output signals, A and B, which issue pulses when the device is moved. [1]

  4. Resolver (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolver_(electrical)

    Resolvers can perform very accurate analog conversion from polar to rectangular coordinates. Shaft angle is the polar angle, and excitation voltage is the magnitude. The outputs are the [x] and [y] components. Resolvers with four-lead rotors can rotate [x] and [y] coordinates, with the shaft position giving the desired rotation angle.

  5. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position. The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller. The encoder can be either incremental or absolute.

  6. Encoder (position) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoder_(position)

    An encoder is a sensor which turns a position into an electronic signal. There are two forms: Absolute encoders give an absolute position value. Incremental encoders count movement rather than position. With detection of a datum position and the use of a counter, an absolute position may be derived.

  7. Wikipedia : VideoWiki/Incremental Encoder

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Incremental_Encoder

    Rotary encoders are used to monitor underground pipeline inspection tractors. This is made possible by a cable which is towed behind the tractor. The incremental encoder monitors the length of cable that pays out as the tractor drives through a pipe. The exact location of the tractor can be determined by counting encoder output pulses.

  8. Servomotor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servomotor

    Absolute encoders can determine their position at power-on but are more complicated and expensive. Incremental encoders are simpler, cheaper, and work at faster speeds. Incremental systems, like stepper motors, often combine their inherent ability to measure intervals of rotation with a simple zero-position sensor to set their position at start-up.

  9. Order tracking (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_tracking_(signal...

    Order tracking is based on a velocity measurement, generally obtained by means of a tachometer or encoder, needed to estimate the instantaneous velocity and/or the angular position of the shaft. Three main families of computed order tracking techniques have been developed in the past: Computed Order Tracking (COT), Vold-Kalman Filter (VKF) and ...
