ROTARY ENCODERS

Start Reading

A device or process that translates data from one format to another is known as an encoder. A rotary encoder is specific to sensing position data.

What are Rotary Encoders?

Working

Disk in this encoder will start revolving slowly & both the pins like A & B will be in contact through common pin. Thus, the generation of two square wave output signals can be done accordingly

Types of Rotary encoders

1. Absolute




2. Incremental




(its output indicates the current shaft positioning)

(its output provides information about the motion of shaft)
