Incremental and Absolute Encoders: What’s the Best Solution for Your Application?！

Encoders provide feedback for a wide range of motion tasks from positioning a patient in an MRI machine to bottling beverages at 300 units per minute. When it comes to specifying an encoder, users must make decisions about a number of key characteristics. Are they tracking linear or rotary motion? Should they use
optical or magnetic technology? And, perhaps most essential to the success of the application, should they choose an incremental or an absolute encoder? Even when incremental and absolute encoders are based on the same sensing mechanism, the two deliver very different performance. Building a successful system requires understanding the trade-offs involved and making the right choice between the two.
