Optical encoders Magnetic encoders Capacitive encoders！

Optical encoders are the most accurate of the standard styles of encoders. When
choosing an optical encoder, it’s important that the encoder has extra protections
built in to prevent contamination from dust, vibration and other conditions common
to industrial environments.

Magnetic encoders are more rugged than optical encoders and often used in
environments in which dirt, steam, vibration and other factors could interfere with
optical encoder performance. Magnetic encoders cannot achieve the resolution or
accuracy of optical encoders.

Capacitive encoders are relative newcomers as an industrial sensing technology.
These encoders are as rugged as magnetic encoders but also do not achieve the high resolutions of optical encoders.
