Encoders

Shop by Encoders Type:

Incremental Encoders
Provide pulses as a shaft moves to measure speed, direction and relative position.

Absolute Encoders
Provide a unique position value so position information can be retained or identified without relying solely on pulse counting.

Rotary Encoders
Measure the angular position, speed or movement of a rotating shaft.

Linear/Cable-Pull Encoders
Convert linear movement or distance into position feedback. Your existing Pepperl+Fuchs material, for example, specifically describes cable-pull rotary encoders for linear distance measurement.

Encoder Brands We Carry

Kübler - Industrial encoders designed for reliable position, speed and motion feedback across machine automation applications.

Autonics - A broad selection of incremental and absolute rotary encoders in multiple sizes, shaft styles and resolutions.

Related Automation Products

Motion Control - Pair encoders with servo and motion systems for precise positioning and movement.

Motors -  Encoders provide motor speed and position feedback in closed-loop and monitoring applications.

VFDs - Encoder feedback can be used in applications requiring more precise motor speed or position control.

PLCs & Smart Relays - Process encoder signals as part of machine control and automation systems.

Timers & Counters - Count pulses, revolutions or events from encoder signals.

Tachometers - Monitor and display rotational speed.

Sensors, Specialty - Find additional sensing technologies, including your Tilt/Inclination products we were just talking about.

Limit/Position Switches - For applications that need discrete position or end-of-travel detection rather than continuous feedback.
