Incremental encoders generate continuous pulse signals that track speed, direction, and relative position. They are ideal for applications requiring real-time movement monitoring, such as conveyor systems, servo drives, packaging machines, and CNC equipment. Known for their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and high resolution, incremental encoders are widely used across manufacturing and industrial automation environments.

Absolute encoders generate a unique digital code for every shaft position, allowing machines to remember their exact location at all times. This makes them essential for high-precision automation, robotics, servo systems, and safety-critical processes where accuracy and repeatability are crucial. With single-turn and multi-turn options, absolute encoders enable advanced control and eliminate the need for homing routines.

Hollow shaft encoders feature a central opening that mounts directly onto motor shafts, eliminating couplings and reducing mechanical complexity. They provide accurate speed and position feedback while ensuring smooth motion control for servo motors, conveyors, packaging lines, and automated machinery. Their slim design and strong build make them ideal for systems with limited installation space.
