An encoder is a sensor of mechanical motion that generates digital signals in response to motion. As an electro-mechanical device, an encoder is able to provide motion control system users with information concerning position, velocity and direction. There are two different types of encoders: linear and rotary.
1 Incremental Encoders: The output of an incremental motor encoder is used to control the speed of a motor shaft. 2  Absolute Encoders: The output of an absolute motor encoder indicates both the motion and the position of the motor shaft.he application in which the motor encoder is being utilized will determine the motor encoder technology that needs to be used. The two broad types of motor encoder technologies available are: 1  Incremental Encoders: The output of an incremental motor encoder is used to control the speed of a motor shaft.
