BEI, a USA-based linear and rotary optical encoder manufacturer, and the inimitable ‘For Dummies’ brand have teamed up to produce an innovative tutorial guide on industrial encoders. Aimed at novices and experts alike, BEI Industrial Encoders For Dummies reaches beyond the primer to provide an interesting and informative 42-page reference covering optical encoder technologies and applications.
The complimentary guide, available from BEI’s exclusive UK and Ireland distributor, Variohm EuroSensor, provides a detailed overview of incremental and absolute optical encoders and how they are applied in real world applications; with hints and tips on key specifications, system design information, installation procedures and environmental considerations. There is also a “things to know about your manufacturer” chapter that aims to deal with true cost of ownership issues and supplier evaluation. The book also takes time to entertain with some fascinating and surprising uses for encoders.
As a leading European supplier of sensors and associated components, Variohm Eurosensor provides sales and application support for BEI’s complete range of linear and rotary encoders, electronics and displays.
