What is the advantage of optical encoder！

Optical encoder widely used domestic and foreign years ago. Same type can test not only Angle displacement but also linear displacement with the help of mechanical conversion device. Multi –turn absolute encoder can detect measuring range of linear displacement (e.g., more than 25 bit).                                                                 Advantages:

• Small size ,
• High precision and resolution
• No contact and frictionless;
•  Long life,
• Simple installation,
• Plentiful interface,
•  Reasonable price.
• Mature technology
