Designed to work with AKD and AKD2G drives, the SFD-M absolute multi-turn encoder can be integrated into Kollmorgen-housed ...

[GreatScott!] knows this, and rather than put up with the bump and grind of a cheap rotary encoder, he decided to find an alternative. He ended up exploring hard drive motors as encoders ...

[Pete] needed a rotary encoder for one of his project so he set out to build his own. As the name implies, a rotary encoder measures rotation by encoding “steps” into electrical signals which ...

"Our new SFD-M encoder provides multi-turn absolute functionality with exceptional position accuracy and resolution at zero additional cost over Kollmorgen motors with single-turn encoders," said ...

a rotary unit for wire rotation, and closed-loop encoder feedback for velocity tracking. Implemented into medical product manufacturing lines, it can significantly increase throughput by up to 550%.

The SFD-M measures the position of the rotor shaft throughout each 360º rotation without requiring reference to a home ...
