A position encoder is a sensor device that detects and converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal to determine the position of a moving part. These encoders are widely used in automation, robotics, CNC machines, and industrial control systems for precise motion control. Position encoders can be linear (measuring straight-line movement) or rotary (measuring angular position). They provide feedback to control systems, ensuring accurate positioning, speed regulation, and efficient performance.
