Define the encoder requirement first

FLUX shares a template to help equipment developers define an encoder application before choosing a model. For a gimbal, pan-tilt unit or vision system, bring your requirements to Optics & Motion for an engineering discussion.

Technical reading · July 2026 / highlighted on LinkedIn in September 2026

Encoder performance beyond bit depth

High resolution alone does not establish motion quality. FLUX explains how feedback timing, including latency and jitter, affects the controller. Discuss accuracy, update behavior and operating conditions as part of the encoder requirement.

Product launch · 24 September 2026

FLUX introduces IND-ROT-G absolute encoders

The new IND-ROT-G family combines compact inductive position feedback with IP67 protection and up to 21-bit resolution. FLUX identifies applications including robotic joints, gimbals and automation equipment where installation space and environmental protection matter.

Application insight / From the archive · 13 October 2022

Smoother motion for surgical robotics

A Lin Engineering case study describes how a custom stepper-motor winding addressed resonance within a surgical robot’s operating speed range, reducing vibration and noise. It illustrates why motor selection should begin with the application’s motion profile.

DriveCore pilot-project discussions

Lin invites discussions about DriveCore modules for robotics, medical devices, gimbals and mobile robots. Availability requires project review.

Accuracy is a system requirement

Position feedback / A brief guide to framing accuracy, repeatability and resolution.

From optical specification to acceptance

Precision optics / Define the inspection evidence alongside the optical and mechanical requirement.

Integrating a frameless motor

Engineered motion / Bring mechanical interfaces, thermal paths and duty cycle into the brief.

Build to specification or build to print?

Choose the starting point that matches the information you have, then agree what the manufacturer will deliver.

Preparing an OEM encoder customization brief

Describe the integration problem before deciding which encoder feature needs to change.

Moving an optical prototype into production

Use the prototype to establish both the design and a repeatable acceptance process.
