Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Fig 1. This mechanical switch provides an excellent tactile feel, and offers high-reliability and longevity for typically analog audio/video applications. Fig 2. For digital applications, A/V ...
