Incremental encoders do not generate a unique signal and is zeroed after power-down. They rely on crossing an index or home signal (sometimes multiple index marks are used) prior achieving absolute position.
ATEK Sensor magnetic products offer a range of mechanical strokes from 10 mm to 30 m with resolution better than 0.005 mm. Operational speeds are typically as high as 3 m/s
ATEK Sensor optical products GLASS Grating Industrial encoders use 5 piece high precision mini bearing manufacturers and special preloaded. Optical Products range of mechanical strokes from 50mm to 12000 m with resolution better than 0.001 mm. Operational speeds are typically as high as 1m/s
Races of 200mm with 12000mm
Stainless steel wire rope with protection nylon
Incremental versions, resolutions of 1mm with 0,05mm
Potentiometric versions, linearity from 0,25% to 0,1% of the scale of measurement, exits analogical
Great simplicity of integration
