Muirhead design and manufacture Encoders for specific applications. The Encoder technology and expertise available at Muirhead is applied both individually for accurate digital position sensing and in the design of Actuators which combine motors and drives for motion control and positional information of a system.
Main Characteristics
The main characteristics which can give the encoder some advantages over other control components are extreme accuracy, signal stability, repeatability, low mass and inertia, ruggedness, wide speed range, digital data direct to control system, versatility with data codes, output types, sizes and the ability to operate from a DC supply.
Applications
Some of the more common Encoder products include:- Inclinometers (or clinometers), kit-form encoders, optical indexers, optical motor commutators, optical limit switches. These can be used in a variety of applications such as radar, gun laying, thermal imaging, avionics, missile fin control, simulators and astronomical telescopes.
