A rotary encoder is a type of electrical engineering device used to measure the angular position of a shaft. It is typically used in applications such as motor control, robotics, and automation. The encoder consists of a disk with a pattern of lines or slots, and a sensor that reads the pattern as the disk rotates. The sensor then sends a signal to a controller, which interprets the signal and determines the angular position of the shaft. Rotary encoders are widely used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical. They are used to measure the speed and position of motors, as well as to provide feedback for motor control systems. They are also used in robotics and automation systems to provide precise control over the motion of robotic arms and other components. The rotary encoder market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a wide range of products. Some of the major players in the market include Omron, Honeywell, Panasonic, and Avago Technologies. Other companies in the market include Baumer, CUI Inc., and Renishaw. Show Less Read more
