Crucial to achieving this is a position sensor called encoders. Encoders measure rotational angles or linear displacement with high precision and output this data as electrical signals, enabling precise control of motors and actuators. This article explains the basic mechanism, types, and selection criteria of encoders from an engineer's perspective, providing information useful for your equipment development and product improvement. Development engineers seeking to achieve high-precision position control should read on.
