Rotary Encoders

Rotary Encoders measure the number of rotations, the rotational angle, and the rotational position. Linear Encoders are also available to measure linear movement.

Measurement Example
Power supply voltage: 5 VDC
Load resistance: 1 kΩ (Output residual voltage is measured at a 35 mA load current.)
Cable: Special Cable
・ This graph shows the relationship between mechanical life and the load applied to the shaft.
・ The size of the load during rotation affects the life of the bearings.
・ This graph shows the effect of the output waveform if the cable is extended.
・ Extending the cable length not only changes the startup time, but also increases the output residual voltage.
