For precise industrial uses, check out models such as the Sensyor GOS38B Rotary Encoder or explore the differences between incremental and absolute encoders for better system integration.
An incremental rotary encoder generates a series of electrical pulses as its shaft turns. Each pulse corresponds to a small movement, allowing you to track the relative position and speed of a rotating shaft. This pulse count helps devices like motors and controllers understand how far and how fast something is moving.
| Feature | Incremental Encoder | Absolute Encoder |
|---|---|---|
| Position Output | Relative position via pulse counting | Exact position value (absolute angle) |
| Reference Needed | Yes, requires power-on origin reset | No, always provides actual position |
| Use Case | Speed control, relative positioning | Position tracking needing no reset |
Incremental encoders only tell you how much you’ve moved from a start point. That’s why they need a reference pulse or external signal to track absolute position after power cycles.
| Time | Channel A | Channel B | Z Pulse |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 ms | LOW | LOW | LOW |
| X ms | HIGH (rising edge) | LOW | LOW |
| X+Y ms | HIGH | HIGH (rising edge) | LOW |
| Once per rev | — | — | HIGH (single pulse) |
Channels A and B pulse alternately with a precise phase difference, allowing direction detection. The Z pulse acts as a unique reference once per revolution.
For practical uses, our incremental shaft encoders integrate smoothly with industrial controllers and DIY microcontroller projects, offering dependable feedback you can count on. See detailed specs and wiring recommendations in our incremental shaft encoder product page.

Incremental rotary encoders provide pulses that track relative position changes, useful for detecting movement and direction but require a reference point to determine a starting position. Absolute encoders, in contrast, output a unique position code at every angle, retaining position info even after power loss. Learn more about incremental vs absolute encoders.
Choose the resolution based on the precision your application demands. Higher pulses per revolution (PPR) deliver finer position detail but may increase data processing needs. For guide on resolution options, see our explanation of what PPR means in an incremental rotary encoder.
No, incremental rotary encoders do not store position after power is cut since they track changes relative to a reference point. On restart, the system must re-establish a zero or home position using the index pulse (Z channel) or an external sensor.
Yes, incremental shaft encoders with standard quadrature outputs (A, B, and optional Z channels) are easily interfaced with microcontrollers like Arduino and PLCs for speed and direction feedback.
