ECN 113 ENDAT Encoder

Rotary encoders serve as measuring sensors for rotary motion, angular velocity, and when used in conjunction with mechanical measuring standards such as lead screws, for linear motion. Application areas include electrical motors, machine tools, printing machines, woodworking machines, textile machines, robots and handling devices, as well as various types of measuring, testing, and inspection devices. The high quality of the sinusoidal incremental signals permits high interpolation factors for digital speed control.
