What are types of encoders?

Answer Posted / pallav raj

There is 7 types of encoder:-
(1) Rotary encoder or Shaft encoder :- An Electro-
Mechanical device which converts the angular position of
shaft or axel to an analog or digital code, making it
angular transducer.

(2) Incremental Encoder :- It is sometimes called a
relative encoder.

(3) Absolute Position encoder :- These are used to generate
an electrical signal that indicates absolute machanical
position, or an incremental mechanical movement relative to
a refrence position.

(4) Quadrature Encoder :- the most common type of
inremental encoder uses 2 output channel (A and B) to sence
position.

(5) Linear Encoder :- it is a sensor, transducer or
readhead paired with scale that encodes position.

(6) Open Collector Encoder :- the encoder supplied is
equipped with an npn open collector configuration which if
wired direct to counter module would require the counter
module to source current.

(7) Binary Code Encoder : -
