optical encoder

Hello everybody :) I am trying to read the values from a direct drive linear motor's (SDLM-025-095-01-05) inbuilt encoder using a NUCLEO-F446RE board. It is a straight forward task, but I am slightly confused with the cables. ( datasheet ) Overall, the motor itself has 10 cables (as seen in...

hello, I use a autonics rotary encoder ( E40S6-3600-6-L-5 ) in my project. the maximum speed of the rotary is about 900 rpm. but at speeds above 100 rpm, I have a lot of noise in the rotary signal, especially on the Z signal. I use a Schmitt trigger (74LS14) to reduce noise. it is better now...

Hello all, I was wondering if you could help me identify a part (actually 2 parts) from a rotary encoder. It's a nice, heavy duty dual concentric switch from an old piece of avionics. I'm trying to find out more about its optical components . It has 2 emitters and 2 detectors on each deck...
