Optical rotary encoders Optical rotary encoders use light as a medium in a similar manner to a light barrier. A code disk with a pattern of opaque and transparent segments rotates in a gap between the light source and sensor. Depending on their transmissivity, this disk either prevents or enables the passage of the light beam to the sensor on the opposite side. The sensor itself is part of the electronic evaluation system, which derives electrical pulses from the opto-electronic scanning system on the basis of which the length, angle or speed information can be calculated. Both optical incremental...

Magnetic Rotary Encoders General information and areas of application Time for a new generation – time for new standards This SIKO development with its indestructible, magnetic scanning technology is suitable for completely new mechanical engineering concepts. Both resolution and scanning reliability as well as the robustness of the compact measuring systems cover application areas which by far exceed those of optical rotary encoders. With a magnetic ring [1] mounted on a hollow or solid shaft, the rotation of machine shafts or spindles can be “transmitted” to special electronic sensors [2]....
