Linear Encoder


Wedge Motion offers affordable linear optical encoders using Broadcom's AEDR-8710 integrated circuit with resolution down to 1.25µm. The encoder delivers the digital signals in quadrature A/B as well as an index signal I. It is supplied with an optical ruler (also known as code strip) adapted to the customer's needs (material, length, position of the index). The encoder's printed circuit board is fixed to its support with two M2 screws.

Wedge Motion WMEL linear encoder

The Wedge Motion linear encoder (WMEL) is comprised of:

  • WMEL-8710: a printed circuit board (27mm x 8mm)

  • WMEL-LP80: a linear optical scale adapted to the customer's needs
