Encoders

Encoders are devices that are designed to translate motion or position changes into electrical signals. By tracking the motion either optically, mechanically or by changing magnetic fields, encoders can output electrical signals either in code such as by binary, octal, hexadecimal or grey code or by changing output signals such as frequency or differential voltage. With a range of supply voltages, mounting types, output resolution per revolution and actuators, encoders can fill a range of applications.
