Absolute Rotary Encoders (200 companies)
Absolute rotary encoders use optical, mechanical, or magnetic indexing for angular measurement. They do not lose their position after power-down, but instead provide absolute position upon power-up without requiring a home cycle or any shaft rotation.

Incremental Rotary Encoders (281 companies)
Incremental rotary encoders are multi-turn sensors that use optical, mechanical, or magnetic index-counting for angular measurement. They contain no absolute reference, but instead count relative to the turn-on position.

Rotary Encoder Disks (12 companies)
Rotary encoder disks are round or disk-shaped and have evenly-spaced holes or markings around their perimeter. Learn more about Rotary Encoder Disks

Rotary Position Sensors (149 companies)
Rotary position sensors include potentiometers, resolvers and a variety of magnetic and capacitive technologies. Sensors are designed for angular displacement less than one turn or for multiturn displacement.
