Bringing space saving at over 40 percent thinner than our E2, it fits NEMA 17 to NEMA 34 and larger motors. Resolutions now from 32-5000 CPR (128-20,000 PPR) and support for 12 shaft sizes.
We have now updated and expanded our kit encoder assembly videos. Assembly videos for the E2, E3, E5, E6, E4T, and E8T encoder are now available.
We've been making encoders and motion control products for over 40 years. Discover why our history, culture, and devotion to our customers' success makes us unique in the manufacturing world.
Stiction is a combination of the words stick and friction. Stiction exists when the static (starting) friction exceeds the dynamic (moving) friction. An example of stiction would be a shaft sticking when small changes are attempted, requiring a larger input force to initiate movement. The result is that the force required to start the shaft moving is more than what is needed to go to the desired shaft position, causing the movement to be jerky.
