Linear encoder is a sensor device used to measure the position and motion of an object, which is commonly used in industrial automation and robot control systems. Its main principle is to use internal sensors to monitor the position of the target object relative to the encoder and convert the position information into a digital signal output.

 

Principle of operation: A linear encoder usually consists of two main parts: the encoder head and the readhead. The encoder head is fixed to a moving object, while the readhead is relatively stationary and mounted in a fixed position. The encoder head contains a grating or magnetic stripe inside the encoder head, while the readhead contains sensors to detect changes in the grating or magnetic stripe. As the object moves, the grating or magnetic stripe changes relative to the readhead and the sensor converts these changes into a digital signal to indicate the position of the object.

 

According to the new market research report “Linear Encoders- Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2024-2030”, published by QYResearch, the global Linear Encoders market size is projected to reach USD 1.65 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.

Features:

High accuracy: Linear encoders are able to provide very high position measurement accuracy, typically on the scale of microns or even smaller. High speed: thanks to digital signal processing, linear encoders enable fast position detection and response for high-speed motion applications.

Reliability: Linear encoders typically have a long service life and stable performance, and are able to operate in harsh environments.

Non-contact: In contrast to traditional contact position sensors, linear encoders are non-contact measuring devices and therefore do not suffer from friction or wear and tear that can affect measurement accuracy.

Linear encoders play an important role in industrial applications, enabling position measurement with high accuracy, speed and reliability, thus providing key technical support for automated production and robot control.
