Motion control feedback

These compact solutions offer closed loop position and velocity control at a competitive cost, especially when used in combination with Rotalink’s low-cost Red Drive motion controller; for miniature brushed or brushless DC motors up to 200W and featuring straightforward drag-and-drop flow chart programming for servo motion control.

Sandwiched between the front shaft of the motor and the gearbox input for both ovoid and in-line gearbox types, the dual channel incremental encoder replaces the traditional and more expensive ‘kit encoder’ approach where a rear shaft (often a special) must be used.
