Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of ...
