Encoder

Encoder is a sensing device that provides feedback. Encoders convert motion to an electrical signal that can be read by some type of control device in a motion control system. The encoder sends a feedback signal that can be used to determine position, count, speed, or direction. A control device can use this information to send a command for a particular function.

Okmarts is one of the leading distributors of rotary encoders and linear encoders in China, offering a wide variety of high-performance absolute encoders and incremental encoders. We have access to over 30 world-famous encoder manufacturers, such as Autonics, Baumer, Koyo, Lika, LS Mecapion, Renishaw, Fanuc, etc. We have also built a close partnership with over 10 professional OEM manufacturers of encoder. Even if your encoder has been discontinued, and you can not find it locally, maybe we could help to offer the encoder replacement for your unit.

Please visit our online shop of Encoder China at Okmarts Encoder Online for absolute encoders and incremental encoders with pretty competitive prices. Hope you have a pleasant shopping experience with us.

The encoder converts angular displacement or linear displacement into electrical signals. According to the working principle, encoders can be divided into two categories: incremental type and absolute type.

The incremental encoder converts the displacement into a periodic electrical signal, and then converts the electrical signal into a count pulse. The number of pulses represents the magnitude of the displacement.
Each position of the absolute encoder corresponds to a certain digital code, so its indication value is only related to the starting and ending positions of the measurement, and has nothing to do with the intermediate process of the measurement.

Incremental encoders have one disadvantage: loss of axis position in the event of a power failure. However, with absolute encoders, the axis position is not lost even in the event of a power failure. Absolute encoders are more expensive, more precise and larger than incremental encoders.

As a trusted rotary encoder china distributor for years, OKmarts can offer favorable prices, a wide range of brands, fast shipping/delivery, and ample supply. If you are looking for an encoder replacement, our website is a good choice. It is easy to compare rotary encoder price, absolute encoder price, and incremental encoder price on our website, and get the most appropriate one.
