Differences between Magnetic Encoder and Optical Encoder

The specific application areas of encoders are very wide, and with the arrival of Industry 4.0, the application of encoders will become increasingly widespread.

An encoder is a sensor device used to measure the position of rotational or linear motion, and convert this position information into digital signals that can be read and recognized by a computer or controller.

In university robot competitions, encoders, as an important sensor device, are widely used to measure the position and movement of robots, providing accurate data support for robot control systems.

Magnetoelectric encoder, also known as magnetic encoder, is a non-contact sensor based on magnetic field changes. It determines physical quantities such as position and velocity by measuring the changes in magnetic field. Magnetoelectric encoders have been widely used in various fields due to their high precision, high resolution, fast response, and strong environmental adaptability.
