Encoder switches are essential components in automation and control systems, used to convert mechanical motion into electrical signals. These devices are widely employed in industrial machinery, robotics, and motion control applications to provide precise position, speed, and direction feedback. Common types include incremental encoders, absolute encoders, and rotary encoders. Products in this category may feature high resolution, durable construction, and compatibility with various interfaces (e.g., RS-422, Push-Pull, or Open Collector). Examples of encoder switches available in the market include optical encoders, magnetic encoders, and linear encoders, catering to diverse industrial needs for accuracy and reliability.
