A mechanical motion sensor called an encoder sensor converts a motion into a digital signal. It is an electro-mechanical device that offers information on location, velocity, and direction to users, typically those with a role in motion control. Encoders come in two primary varieties: linear and rotary.
When feedback data from a moving mechanical system is needed, encoder sensors have grown to be a popular type of sensor. A mechanical piece of equipment’s speed, direction, and location can all be precisely determined using this apparatus.
Encoders are currently extensively employed in a variety of industries as a result of recent advancements that have made them more resilient, sensitive, and capable of better resolutions at a lower cost.
Encoder sensors are utilized in a variety of industries, including those related to the automotive, consumer electronics, medical, military, manufacturing, and scientific instrument industries.
Encoder sensors are used in a variety of devices, including printers, food processing equipment, robotics, material handling equipment, axis controls, medical scanners, dispensing pumps, drilling machines, and telescopes, to mention a few.
The clue lies in the names of the two different types of encoders, which differ in how they react to motion in a specific area. While rotary encoder sensors react to rotating motion, linear encoder sensors monitor motion along a linear path. To identify any changes, both types frequently use magnetic principles (a magnetic scale or magnetic field).
The sensor can produce an output that represents a change in speed, position, or direction by detecting changes in the magnetic field or magnetic position.
The Global Encoder Sensor Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The market-leading IncOder family of encoders will now include an encoder sensor 58mm type, according to Zettlex, a global sensors manufacturer.
Zettlex IncOders enable accurate angle or angular speed measurement in challenging settings where conventional optical or capacitive devices might not be trustworthy. Because there are no bearings to align and a finely toleranced installation is not required, IncOders give design engineers a simple technique to attain measurement precision.
Engineers may customize a position sensor to their exact needs thanks to the IncOder range’s more than 100 million product possibilities. The range offers a wide variety of mechanical formats, resolution options, communications interface options, connection, and voltage options, as well as sizes (37mm to 300mm diameter).
