Incremental optical encoder is a device converting physical data to digital mode. In the motion control systerm, the function of incremental optical encoder is converting angle and position information to digital pulse signal. The A,B,Z 3 channels output in wave form. Direction and speed can be judged from the 3 channels.

Linear scale has the feature of waterproof, sturdy and durable, easy to install and optional various output mode. The manufacturer of the sensor has the quality control, better delivery control and better cost control characteristics.

The micro rotary encoder contains a disc , PCB, and a plastic housing. It is the modular type of rotary encoder. It can be mounted to the motor shaft directly, which is very simple. Becauses of its macro size, it can be used to space limited mounting environment. The rotary optical encoder outputs A and B signals. The resolution is max 1024ppr. TTL and line driver outputs are the most popular signal format required by customers.

Incremental Industrial solid shaft encoder is connected to the motor shaft by means of a solid shaft with the aid of a flexible coupling and an external flange. This type of mounting coaxiality is lower, and the increased coupling and flange require more installation space, often in low resolution and low precision applications. Solid shaft encoder has the features of light weight, compact size, high precision, low price, high quality ,imported bearings and high protection class .The sensor widely applied in light industry such as printing and packaging industry.
