/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I know it's not about the motor but the encoder, and I'm sure it can rotate indefinitely. I just don't know how to ask it without sounding like a retard, as you suggested. And even if I did they would just mindlessly point me to your pic, which doesn't really answer my (poorly worded) question.

I know it just werks because it's very common in the medical industry, which I have zero experience of. But I need more information about maintenance and zeroing, which a salesman from Schunk can't really answer.

Yeah but does it vary over time? Do the measurements of encoders decrease over long periods of time? I know that (very simplified) absolute encoders know their position through a disc with a code (BCD, binary etc), but I don't know how reliable are these on the long term (1-5 years of continuous movement).


Thank you for your answers

Halp pls I have an air tool that the manufacturer says requires an air compressor rated at 3.5CFM @ 80 PSI

every single air compressor I looked at today while out in town listed their CFM @ 90 PSI. What is the conversion rate? Ive tried googling but it just gives me articles discussing how to calculate CFM through duct work and shit and I'm a fucking smooth brain
