Absolute Encoders
The Allen-Bradley family of Absolute shaft encoders are Electro-mechanical devices that provide a digital output related to the position of a rotating shaft. They are useful feedback elements in closed loop control systems.
Absolute Encoders provide the absolute position of the shaft and are used when position data must be retained during loss of power. Absolute Encoders are characterized by their ability to provide a unique parallel code for each position of the shaft and do not rely on external electronics to decode shaft position, and are therefore excellent choices in systems that require 'failsafe' operation.
Allen-Bradley Absolute Encoders give you position control in packaging, robotics, pick and place, lead/ball screw, rotary table positioning and component insertion applications.
