To read out the position electronically, a rotary encoder is attached.

Between these two displays are the rotary encoder control and four push buttons.

One type has no stops and can be spun the entire way around, because it is a relative rotary encoder.

It is considered an analog device, and has a digital counterpart, the rotary encoder.

These rotary encoders control parameters that can be "morphed".

In addition there are four assignable control sliders and one 'rotary encoder'.

Some designs use Hall effect sensors or a rotary encoder to directly measure the rotor's position.

Digital devices such as the rotary encoder have replaced synchros in most other applications.

Rotary encoders with a single output (i.e. pulsers) cannot be used to sense direction of motion.

A Linear encoder is similar to a rotary encoder, but measures position in a straight line, rather than rotation.

A servomotor is a specific type of motor and rotary encoder combination, usually with a dedicated, that forms a servomechanism.

Gray coding compensates for errors on rotary encoders and linear encoders.

The spool is coupled to the shaft of a rotational sensor (a potentiometer or rotary encoder).

Suppose a robot has rotary encoders on its wheels or on its legged joints.

Gone were the hydraulic units, in favor of direct drive motors to rotate the ball screws, with rotary encoders to provide positioning feedback.

These arms have six or seven rotary axes with rotary encoders, instead of linear axes.

In this example, position feedback of the actual load position is presented by a Rotary encoder that produces a binary output code.

Rotary encoder (angular)

However, some non-electronic or only partially electronic devices, such as rotary encoders, can also be considered ADCs.

These models use a rack (toothed metal strip) that meshes with a gear that turns a rotary encoder.

The widespread use of potentiometers in consumer electronics declined in the 1990s, with rotary encoders, up/down push-buttons, and other digital controls now more common.

It employs a touch screen, rotary encoders, and faders that dynamically map to whatever function or parameter is selected for adjustment.

The arm is constructed of aluminum and the workings of the robot, such as geared electric motors and their rotary encoders, are visible.

Maxon makes an example (rotary encoder) product (the MILE encoder).
