How to select the resolution of encoder！

Revolution encoder generates a pulse number, which is by the encoder itself to decide.

During encoder selection, there is the number of pulses generated by a very important indicator is the revolution of the encoder, and some called the encoder lines. Encoder revolution number of pulses generated by the encoder determines the accuracy, precision requirements for some applications, such as: servo control, motion control, the encoder pulses of the indicator should be higher; if only the general speed control, the number of pulses of the encoder 1024 will be enough.

If you are an existing encoder can be found on its data pulses by the encoder model. We have this data in the manual or samples.

If you are now carrying out an encoder selection, then you need to control precision needed to determine the number of pulses of the encoder.
