angular encoder
1Rotary encoder — A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro mechanical device used to convert the angular position of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code, making it an angle transducer. These devices are used in industrial controls,… …
2Gray code — The reflected binary code, also known as Gray code after Frank Gray, is a binary numeral system where two successive values differ in only one digit.The reflected binary code was originally designed to prevent spurious output from… …
3Rotary stage — A rotary stage is a component of a motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of rotation. The terms rotary table or rotation stage are often used interchangeably with rotary stage. All rotary stages consists of a platform and a… …
4Resolver (electrical) — A resolver is a type of rotary electrical transformer used for measuring degrees of rotation. It is considered an analog device, and has a digital counterpart, the rotary (or pulse) encoder.DescriptionThe most common type of resolver is the… …
5Synchro — [ frame|Schematic of Synchro TransducerThe complete circle represents the rotor. The solid bars represent the cores of the windings next to them. Power to the rotor is connected by slip rings and brushes, represented by the circles at the ends of …
6Position sensor — A position sensor is any device that enables position measurement. It can either be an absolute position sensor or a relative one (displacement sensor). Position sensors can be either linear or angular.Some position sensors available today: *… …
7Linear stage — A linear stage or translation stage is a component of a motion system used to restrict an object to a single axis of motion. The term linear slide is often used interchangeably with linear stage , though technically linear slide refers to a… …
8Sensor — de efecto Hall. Un sensor es un dispositivo capaz de detectar magnitudes físicas o químicas, llamadas variables de instrumentación, y transformarlas en variables eléctricas. Las variables de instrumentación pueden ser por ejemplo: temperatura,… …
9Signal-flow graph — A signal flow graph (SFG) is a special type of block diagram[1] and directed graph consisting of nodes and branches. Its nodes are the variables of a set of linear algebraic relations. An SFG can only represent multiplications and additions.… …
10Dead reckoning — For other uses, see Dead reckoning (disambiguation). The navigator plots his 9am position, indicated by the triangle, and, using his course and speed, estimates his position at 9:30am and 10am. In navigation, dead reckoning (also ded (for… …
