  2. Linear encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_encoder

    In an incremental system, position is determined by motion over time; in contrast, in an absolute system, motion is determined by position over time. Linear encoder technologies include optical, magnetic, inductive, capacitive and eddy current. Optical technologies include shadow, self imaging and interferometric.

  3. Encoder (position) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoder_(position)

    An encoder is a sensor which turns a position into an electronic signal. There are two forms: Absolute encoders give an absolute position value. Incremental encoders count movement rather than position. With detection of a datum position and the use of a counter, an absolute position may be derived.

  4. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...

  5. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    The resolution of an incremental encoder is a measure of the precision of the position information it produces. Encoder resolution is typically specified in terms of the number of A (or B) pulses per unit displacement or, equivalently, the number of A (or B) square wave cycles per unit displacement.

  6. Position sensitive device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_sensitive_device

    A position sensitive device and/or position sensitive detector (PSD) is an optical position sensor (OPS) that can measure a position of a light spot in one or two-dimensions on a sensor surface. Principles

  7. Digital read out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_read_out

    Two optical sensors (phototransistors or photodiodes) are placed very close to each other to make a linear incremental encoder. When the machine axis moves, the dark marks move under the optical encoders triggering them in succession. If movement is from, for example, left to right, encoder A is triggered first and encoder B afterwards.
