ROTARY ENCODERS

A rotary encoder, also known as a shaft encoder, is an electromechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft into analog or digital output signals. These devices are essential in applications requiring precise monitoring or control of mechanical systems, including industrial controls, robotics, photographic lenses, computer input devices, and rotating radar platforms.

Key Features:

• High Precision: Rotary encoders offer accurate measurement of angular positions, essential for applications requiring precise control.

• Durability: Designed to withstand harsh environments, many encoders are resistant to dust, vibrations, and mechanical wear.

• Versatility: Available in various configurations to suit different applications, from simple manual controls to complex industrial machinery.

Common Applications:

• Industrial Automation: Used in CNC machines, assembly lines, and robotic arms for position and speed feedback.
