How do I pick between rotary and linear encoders?!

Changchun Rongde Optics Co.,Ltd.   Release time:2016/11/16   Browse:711

It may seem as though linear encoders and rotary encoders have strictly defined (and maybe even mutually exclusive) applications. Prevailing logic is that linear encoders track linear motion and rotary encoders track rotating shafts — but this isn’t always the case.

Some motion designs can use linear or rotary encoders, so engineers can pick between the two. Elsewhere, designs with multiple kinds with of motion might benefit from multiple actuators on both linear and rotary axes to monitor key machine sections. Engineers should identify the locations of all potential faults of a machine and pick encoders that can detect those for the controller in some way. Some installations excel when a machine uses both linear and rotary encoders.(absolute encoder, incremental encoder)
