Absolute Rotary Encoders

An absolute rotary encoder reports a coded shaft angle rather than requiring the controller to reconstruct position solely by counting incremental pulses. A singleturn device identifies position within one revolution; a multiturn device also supplies a revolution count over its specified range. The sensing method and turn-retention mechanism determine how that information remains available across operating states.

Product & engineering

Understand the product.

A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital code. There are two main types: absolute and incremental (relative). Absolute rotary encoders provide a distinctly coded numerical value for each shaft position. In positioning tasks in particular, the absolute encoders relieve the controller of computation tasks and keep costs down by eliminating the need for additional input components. Moreover, reference runs when the machine is switched on or after power failures are no longer required as the current position value is available immediately. Parallel absolute encoders transmit the position value to the analyzing electronics through several parallel cables. Serial absolute encoders transmit their output data via standardized interfaces and protocols.

Optical designs read a patterned disc or ring, while inductive or magnetic designs use their respective sensing structures and decoding electronics. Housed shaft encoders include their own mechanical support; bearingless formats rely on the machine's shaft and mounting geometry. The code is an angular measurement. A coupling, gearbox or compliant transmission between the encoder and the load can introduce position error that the encoder itself cannot observe.

Multiturn implementations can use geared code elements or electronically retained revolution information, including battery-buffered designs. The required behavior when power is removed must be checked for the selected mechanism. A true absolute reading does not need a reference move to identify its encoded position, but machine coordinates still depend on the installed zero, gearing and controller configuration. Distance-coded reference systems have a different start-up sequence.

Electrical integration includes the position-word format, supported interface, supply, update timing, cable and diagnostic handling. More reported bits create finer digital resolution; they do not by themselves establish angular accuracy, repeatability or dynamic error. A controller must interpret singleturn and multiturn fields correctly and respond to invalid data or communication faults. A safety-capable encoder only supports a safety function when its specified mechanical and electrical integration are also satisfied.

What turns activity into demand

Coded angular position with singleturn or multiturn information, matched to the mechanical axis and controller interface.

The commercial boundary

The product is the absolute rotary sensing device or specified readhead/scale system. Couplings, interface converters, drives and motion controllers may be separate. Incremental encoders, resolvers and reference-mark systems have different information paths. An encoder reading a motor shaft is not automatically a direct measurement of the final load position.
