Encoder Sensors – SICK

Description:
Encoder Sensors are versatile devices that convert rotational or linear motion into electrical pulse signals. The frequency of the pulses is proportional to the speed, while the number of pulses per revolution determines the resolution. Encoders enable precise position, speed, and rotation count monitoring, making them ideal for industrial automation, robotics, and motion control.
