The Mercury encoder family is revolutionary. With the world's
smallest high performance sensor, it can fit where other encoders
can't. Programmable resolution, 30 second alignment and SmartPrecision
setup and monitoring software make it ideal for all OEM applications.
Now that's smart.
The
heart of today's high performance servo-positioning systems is the
position feedback encoder used to control the motion loop in closed
loop or servo systems. Whether rotary or linear motion, it provides
the electronic signals needed to accurately position the motion
system's mechanism or the servo motor (rotary) or stage (linear).
As engineers are trying to improve
system performance and reduce system costs, encoder selection is
becoming increasingly important to
the success of their design.

Three encoder sensor technologies, optical, magnetic and electric,
have dominated the market for the past 50 years, with optical encoders
preeminent in
the medium to high-resolution servo-motion market. The optical encoder
is outdistancing its magnetic sensor counterparts in the high-performance
motion control arena as defined by position resolution from 5 microns
to 5 nanometers.
