Motor Feedback Sensors

Motor feedback sensors report motor shaft position and speed to drives and controllers. Accurate feedback is essential for servo control, positioning and speed regulation.

Feedback Device Types

• Incremental encoders – speed and relative position
• Absolute encoders – position retained without power
• Resolvers – rugged feedback for harsh environments
• Hollow shaft encoders – easy motor mounting
• Digital interfaces – HIPERFACE, EnDat and BiSS

Choosing Feedback

Match the interface to your drive, then select resolution and mechanical fit. Resolvers suit high temperatures and vibration, while encoders give high accuracy.
