Encoder Applications
Encoders translate rotary or linear motion into a digital signal. The signals are sent to a controller, which monitors motion parameters such as speed, rate, direction, distance, or position. Since 2004, Gertech encoders have been applied for countless feedback requirements in most industries. When selecting the right encoder for your application, it's vital to understand the role of the encoder in your motion control system. To help with that, we’ve compiled a library of typical applications categorized by industry to help you find the right encoder for your motion control application.
Encoders in Various Industries
Encoder provides precise and reliable motion feedback in automated vehicles and robots applications, ensure the equipments moving in a regular line with a proper speed.
Encoder provides preciseand reliable angle feedback for each wheel of the beam truck, ensure when its turning movement going smoothly by each wheel.
Precise and reliable speed feedback will be provided for the CNC Machine Tool by the encoder, the manual pluse gererator will help to set the positions of the cnc tools and the materials
Encoder is applied to a motor, another shaft such as the head-roll or combined with a measuring wheel to provide spped and direction feedback to the drive.
Through hollow shaft encoder will be mounted on the motor shaft , to provided precise and reliable speed and position feedback of the elevator
Encoders provides previse and reliable speed and direction feedback in packaging equipments for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Encoder feedback in conveying can be achive via motor mount, the head-roll or with a measuring wheel.
CANopen Multi-turn absolute encoder is the safty and reliable sensor sulotion for the hoisting machinery. it can manage long distance signals fast tranmission.
Gertech offers a diverse range of products to help improve the speed, accuracy, safety and efficiency of logistics operations and raise productivity for various users.
Encoder can be applied to a non-motor axis or mutiple axes of motion, to acomplish the mission of speed and angle control.
Encoders are used in automated metal forming machinery such as extruders, presses,punches,welders and others.
Encoders are used in automated and electronically controlled systems abound in modern mobile equipment industries like construction, material handling, mining, rail maintenance, agriculture, and firefighting.
The packaging industry typically utilizes equipment involving rotary motion along several axes. This includes actions such as spooling, indexing, sealing, cutting, conveying and other automated machine functions that usually represent an axis of rotary motion. For accurate control, often a rotary encoder is the preferred sensor for motion feedback.
The wide variety of automated machinery used in the printing industry presents innumerable application points for rotary encoders. Commercial printing technologies such as offset web, sheet fed, direct to plate, inkjet, binding and finishing involve rapid feed speeds, precise alignment and coordination of multiple axes of motion. Rotary encoders excel in providing motion control feedback for all of these operations.

The wide variety of automated machinery used in the stagecraft industry presents innumerable application points for rotary encoders. From linear slides, to turn tables, to vertical lifts, and hoists, encoders provide reliable motion feedback.
Gertech shaft encoders have a key role in the wind turbine control loop system, and they are robust, durable and reliable. Be it doubly-fed asynchronous or synchronous equipment, the requirements that need to be met by the communications unit in the generator system are constantly increasing. Permanent magnet generators also require new feedback systems to measure the speed of rotation. Gertech supplies custom encoder solutions to meet all these challenging requirements.
In textile manufacturing machinery, encoders provide critical feedback for speed, direction, and distance. High-speed, precisely controlled operations such as weaving, knitting, printing, extruding, seaming, gluing, cut-to-length, and others are typical applications for encoders. Incremental encoders are predominantly used in textile machinery, but absolute feedback is becoming more common as more complex controls systems are implemented.
