C&K - Encoders

C&K Components was founded on January 21, 1957, and is one of the trusted and world leading switch manufacturers. Its headquarters is located in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. The company started as a manufacturer specializing in magnetic core storage units, and later underwent restructuring to produce micro switches for the electronics industry and promote the development of computers.
C&K's products (including tactile switches, toggle switches, and toggle switches) are widely used in the automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer industries, assembling tens of thousands of switch combinations for many companies that design, assemble, and distribute electronic products.
C&K's products have the following advantages: leading in the design and manufacturing of micro tactile switches; Ensure zero ppm defects in automotive grade products; Global layout design center and testing facilities; Focus on high reliability connectors and smart card interconnection; Having flexible manufacturing capabilities and top-notch manufacturing processes from prototype to mass production; Provide comprehensive value-added component solutions.
By the mid-1990s, the company was acquired by ITT Industries. In 2001, C&K acquired Comax Industrial in China, which helped the company operate better globally.

Encoders are sensors that capture and convert physical quantities such as displacement, Angle, velocity, etc., to generate a series of digital pulses or codes that accurately reflect the motion state of the measured object. According to the working principle, encoders are mainly divided into two categories: incremental and absolute. Incremental encoders output pulse signals by detecting periodic changes in the grating or magnetic gate on the rotation axis, generating a fixed number of pulses per rotation for calculating speed and displacement. Absolute encoders, on the other hand, have a unique code at each position, and even if the power is off and restarted, they can immediately know the current position without recalibration.
