Tech Note Description
Mercury Encoders: Design
Guidelines for Customer-Supplied
Hubs MicroE Systems offers standard hubs for each of our standard
rotary scales. Should customers want to design a hub themselves,
this document describes the key factors that should be incorporated
into the hubs.
Mercury Encoders: Alignment of
Rotary Scales This document describes two different methods of aligning rotary
scales: (1) optically centering the grating pattern track using a CCD
camera; and (2) using two sensors to “electrically” center the
grating.
