When you work with motion control systems, a core decision is choosing the right encoder to track position and speed. Among the many options, absolute encoder and incremental encoder are the two most common types. Each has its own strengths, limitations, and ideal applications. Understanding how they differ—and how they can complement your design—helps you […]

In the world of automation, robotics, and industrial equipment, precision is more than just a goal—it’s a requirement. That’s where the incremental rotary encoder comes in. This small but mighty sensor has become one of the most essential components for modern motion control systems, ensuring that machines move with accuracy, consistency, and reliability. But what exactly is […]

In today’s fast-paced industrial and automation landscape, incremental encoder are everywhere—hidden in robotics, conveyors, packaging lines, and even your favorite coffee machine. But, here’s something people often overlook: the real-world environment where these nifty gadgets operate. Does it matter? Absolutely. Sure, incremental encoders are versatile and accurate, but environmental factors can make or break their performance and […]

When you’re selecting an incremental encoder, the goal is to match the device to your application’s specific demands. Do you need high-resolution feedback for a precision CNC machine, or rugged performance for a harsh industrial environment? Is low latency critical for your servo loop, or is robustness and long-term availability more important? These questions set […]

Incremental encoder are electromechanical devices that measure changes in motion and direction. These units generate A/B digital outputs, with pulses per revolution (PPR) determining their resolution. By encoding the shaft’s angular displacement, they reveal velocity and relative position. Because they provide near-instant feedback, incremental encoders are ideal for high-precision motion control and positioning tasks, such […]
