Examples include velocity control and simple point-to-point applications. New! DFS Incremental Solutions 8-9 Selection Guide 7, 10-13 Absolute Encoders 1 4-15 Use absolute encoders when position data must be retained after loss of power. Examples include robotics, lead/ball screws, overhead cranes, and rack and pinion applications. Selection Guide 1 4-15 page Linear Encoders & Wire Draw Systems 1 6-19 Use linear encoders and wire-draw systems to measure incremental or absolute position along any axis. SICK|STEGMANN linear encoders can be used in applications up to 1.7 kilometers long!
