Encoders

Encoders are devices that convert mechanically into an electrical signal, suitable for further processing. They are an essential element in all electric motor drives. They are used to measure position, angle, velocity, linear displacement, etc. Encoders are an indispensable part of any regulated electric motor drive and their application is important for closed-loop control, for applications requiring precision control. The scope of encoder application is large and covers most industrial machine tools, special machines, packing machines, lifts, cranes and cranes. Encoders are also involved in specific high-tech industrial automation projects, followed by robotics, as well as in large motors and generators.
