Encoder Knowledge

What is an encoder used for? Encoders are used in almost every industry where precise movement control is needed—they’re like the "eyes" of a machine, telling it where parts are and how fast they’re moving. Let’s break down some common uses: In the automotive industry, encoders on car engines track

Is sin cos encoder absolute? No, a standard SinCos encoder is not absolute—it’s an incremental encoder. The difference between incremental and absolute encoders is whether they can tell the system the exact position when it starts up. Incremental encoders (including SinCos ones) only measure changes

What is the purpose of a shaft encoder? The primary purpose of a shaft encoder is to convert the mechanical rotational or linear motion of a shaft into electrical signals that a controller or computer can understand. This enables the system to track information such as the shaft's position, speed, a
