Whois & Analysis for eltra-encoder.eu

A linear encoder is a sensor, transducer or readhead paired with a scale that encodes position.

The sensor reads the scale in order to convert the encoded position into an analog or digital signal, which can then be decoded into position by a digital readout (DRO) or motion controller.

A potentiometer, informally a pot, is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider.

If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.

A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code.

A distributor is an enclosed rotating shaft used in spark-ignition internal combustion engines that have mechanically-timed ignition.

The distributor's main function is route secondary, or high voltage, current from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the correct firing order, and for the correct amount of time.

Except in magneto systems, the distributor also houses a mechanical or inductive breaker switch to open and close the ignition coil's primary circuit.
