Description:
A rotary encoder is a type of position sensor which is used for determining the angular position of a rotating shaft. Encoders are used to translate rotary or linear motion (mechanical movement) into a digital signal, according to the rotational movement.
This is for the purpose of monitoring or controlling motion parameters such as speed, rate, direction, distance or position.
There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental.
The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle transducer. The output of an incremental encoder provides information about the motion of the shaft, which typically is processed elsewhere into information such as position, speed, and distance.
Rotary encoders are used in a wide range of applications that require monitoring or control, or both, of mechanical systems, including industrial controls, robotics, photographic lenses, computer input devices such as optomechanical mice and trackballs, controlled stress rheometers, and rotating radar platforms.
Application:
It can be used to measure the rotational speed, Angle and acceleration of the object and the length measurement
Suitable for intelligent control of various displacement measurement, automatic fixed-length leather, Automatic guillotine machines, Steel length cut control, Civil measured height human scale, Students racing robots
