Encoders
An encoder is a device that converts data from one format into another in order to communicate information. To meet today’s stringent design requirements, encoders must be high-resolution, small, easy to mount, and low cost.
Encoders are primarily used in the following applications:
- Stepper motor FOC (field orientation-based control)
- Servo motors
- Automated equipment
- Robotics and other machinery for motion feedback and motion control
Symmetry offers encoders from iC-Haus, a leading German manufacturer of standard ICs and customized ASIC semiconductor solutions. These encoders provide single-chip optical and magnetic encoder solutions.
