Optical incremental rotary encoders are essential components in motion control systems, industrial automation, and robotics projects. They convert the rotational movement of a shaft into electrical signals, enabling accurate measurement of position, speed, and direction of rotation.
This 5–24V DC incremental encoder uses optical sensing technology to provide high precision and immunity to mechanical interference. Its compact and durable construction makes it ideal for use in motors, CNC machinery, 3D printers, robotic arms, and positioning systems.
The device outputs two quadrature signals (channels A and B), allowing detection of both speed and rotational direction. Its wide input voltage range ensures compatibility with a variety of microcontrollers and industrial control systems.
🔔 Notice: The A and B phase outputs must not be connected directly to VCC, as this may damage the output transistor. Some batches may not include a terminal connector.
