Magnetic Encoder！

Magnetic sensing technology is best for operations in very high temperatures and environments with extreme shock and vibration. Magnetic encoders tend to have fewer resolution options and lower precision than their optical counterparts and can be more susceptible to environmental magnetic interference. Ideal applications for magnetic encoders include wind energy, tree harvesting, traction motors for rail equipment and pavement profiling.

This type of encoder provides information about the instantaneous position of a rotating shaft. The encoder does this by producing one square wave cycle per increment of shaft movement. Incremental output is ideal for applications where relative movement is desired.
