Rotary Encoders
Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices in automation systems that measure the angular position, velocity, or direction of rotating objects by converting mechanical motion into electrical signals. They are essential in various industrial applications, including robotics and motion control systems. Rotary encoders can be classified into incremental and absolute types and utilize optical, magnetic, or capacitive sensing technologies. Selection depends on resolution, accuracy, environmental conditions, and application requirements.
