Drive motor feedback

As automated vehicles and carts move around warehouses and other facilities, the motors on these vehicles and carts need reliable motion feedback to ensure that they remain in designated transit corridors/areas, and to ensure accurate stopping and starting.

Gertech motion feedback devices have been providing reliable, repeatable motion feedback on motors for more than 15 years. Our engineers and encoder experts understand motor applications and how to determine the right motion feedback device for drive motor feedback.

Encoders used for drive motor feedback

Hollow shaft incremental encoders——Compact, high-performance encoder available in thru-bore or blind hollow bore.

 Absolute feedback for steering assemblies

Steering assemblies require precision to ensure the correct steering angle and drive path. The best way to ensure proper motion feedback in these applications is to use an absolute encoder. 

Absolute encoders ensure smart positioning, providing exact location in a 360-degree rotation. 

Gertech offers a range of absolute encoder solutions that can provide motion feedback.
