Angular position encoder
Angular position encoders are sensors for detecting an angle of rotation or its change on a shaft relative to a stationary part.
Models
- Resolver (analog, absolute measuring, electromagnetic process)
- Short-circuit ring encoder (analog, absolute measuring method for angles up to 60 °)
- RVDT , a variant of the differential transformer
- Potentiometer transmitter (analog, absolute measuring method, variable resistance)
-
Rotary encoder
- Incremental encoder (digital relative detection)
- Absolute encoder (digital absolute angular position)
- Encoder (digital capture)
