Jan 09,2025Types of Rotary Encoders: Understanding Incremental vs. Absolute Encoders
Rotary encoders are critical components used in motion control and automation systems. They provide feedback on the position, speed, and direction of a rotating object by converting rotary motion into electrical signals. The two main types of rotary encoders are Incremental Encoders and Absolute Encoders. While both perform similar functions, they operate based on different principles and have distinct advantages and disadvantages.In this article, we’ll explore the differences between these two encoder types, discuss their unique features, and examine the applications where each type excels.
