[Technical Column] Points for Selecting Encoder Cables

Lapp Japan

An encoder cable, also known as a feedback cable, is a cable that connects the encoder built into a servo motor to the drive. In this column, we provide a detailed explanation of the selection points for encoder cables, the differences between incremental and absolute encoders, the performance of encoders and cables, the conditions for encoders, and noise environments. If you are interested, please take a moment to read it. Lapp Japan regularly uploads useful technical information.
