ABSTRACT:
A structure and associated method to accurately read an encoder tape in an encoder system. The encoder system comprises, a read head, a shoe structure adjacent the read head, and an encoder tape. The encoder tape is adapted to be read by the read head. The shoe structure is adapted to locally support the encoder tape and locally dampen a vibration of the encoder tape as the encoder tape is read by the read head.
