Encoders . Encoders are sensors used to detect position. They can be linear, or rotational. The problem with linear encoders is that they have to travel the entire length of their range. Linear encoders, therefore, are long and expensive. Rotational encoders, on the other hand, are small and relatively cheap and less unwieldy.
