Encoders - ABB

Encoders are electromechanical devices used to convert mechanical motion or position into electrical signals. These devices provide feedback on the position, speed, or direction of rotating components, such as motors, shafts, or robotic joints. Encoders offer high accuracy and resolution, enabling precise control and positioning in industrial automation, robotics, CNC machines, or motion control systems. They are available in various types, including optical encoders, magnetic encoders, or capacitive encoders, providing options for different motion sensing requirements.
