Incremental Encoder Applications！

An incremental encoder can be used in positioning and motor speed measuring feedback applications which includes servo/light-, industrial- or heavy-duty applications. 

An incremental encoder provides excellent speed and distance feedback and, since there are few sensors involved, the systems are both simple and inexpensive. An incremental encoder is limited by only providing change information, so the encoder requires a reference device to calculate motion. 

 An Incremental Encoder is designed to be versatile and customizable to fit a wide variety of applications. The three broad categories of applications based on environment are: 

• Heavy Duty: demanding environment with a high probability of contaminants and moisture, higher temperature, shock, and vibration requirements as seen in pulp, paper, steel, and wood mills. 
• Industrial Duty: general factory operating  environment which requires standard IP ratings,moderate shock, vibration, and temperature specs as seen in food and beverage, textile, generally factory automation plants. 
• Light Duty/Servo: controlled environment with high accuracy and temperature requirements such as robotics, electronics, and semiconductors.
