Angle Sensors - Encoders

Angle Sensors - Encoders at ABC-RC

ABC-RC is the place where you will find a wide selection of arduino-Encoders angle sensors, including Encoder rotary pulser KY-040. Our store offers devices that convert motion or angular position into an electrical signal. This makes them indispensable in many fields of technology, such as robotics, automation and consumer electronics.

Division of angle sensors - encoders

Our angle sensors - encoders are divided into several types. There are rotary encoders, which measure the angle of rotation, and linear encoders, which measure linear displacement. Each of these types comes in two variants: absolute and incremental. Absolute encoders remember their position even when power is turned off, while incremental encoders need a reference point to which they turn each time they are activated.

How to choose the right angle sensor - encoder?

Selecting the right angle sensor - encoder depends on many factors. First of all, on the type of task to be performed by the encoder. For projects requiring high precision, we recommend choosing an absolute encoder. If, on the other hand, price is your main concern, an incremental encoder will be a good choice. Another important factor is the operating environment of the encoder. Some models are resistant to moisture, dust or vibration, while others require use in laboratory conditions.

Advantages of using angle sensors - encoders

Use of angle sensors - encoders has many advantages. First of all, they allow precise control of devices that require position control. With them, you can, for example, control the movement of a robot, precisely control the position of a 3D printer head, or control stepper motors in various types of devices. In addition, encoders are relatively simple devices to use, and thanks to the growing popularity of Arduino, there are many ready-made libraries and tutorials available to make programming them easier.

Technical construction of angle sensors - encoders

Construction angle sensors - encoders is relatively simple. They consist of a disk on which special markers are applied, and a reader that reads the position of these markers. Depending on the type of encoder, the markers can be applied to the disk mechanically, magnetically or optically. A reader is usually an integrated circuit that converts the read information into an electrical signal, which can then be read by a microcontroller.
