Selection Guide
Introduction
Welcome to the EPC Encoder Selection Guide. The process of
selecting an encoder for your motion system is not as simple and
straightforward as it might seem at first glance since there are
a large number of variables that must be considered, most of
which are dependent upon factors outside of the encoder itself.
Some examples:
- Since encoders are most often used as feedback devices, what
information does your system need?
- At what point or points in the overall process is feedback
appropriate?
- What are the environmental conditions that the encoder will be
subjected to?
As a result of these types of considerations, the purpose of
this guide is not to provide the answer, but rather to provide
you guidance in choosing which one of EPC's wide range of
solutions will best meet your requirements. Let's get started!!
Selection Criteria
Your motion system will usually dictate what set of selection
criteria are most important to you. These criteria usually fall
into one of the following broad categories. Select the one that
is most important to you:
