  7. Overview •  A position sensor is a device allowing position measurements. • The sensor can either be to some fixed point or position or from some fixed point or position. • A position sensor can measure any positions, such as linear positions, angular positions and rotary positions.

  8. Types of Position Sensors • Linear Positions • Angular Positions • Rotary Positions

  9. Major Applications • Servomotors • Amusement equipment • Music live control • Computer game joysticks • Steering wheels • Robot applications • Industrial applications

  10. Rotary Encoders • Rotary encoders are also called shaft encoders. • Rotary encoder converts angular position of mechanical movement of a shaft or axle to an analog or digital signal. • Generally, digital signal is preferred.

  12. How it works? • Rotary encoder works just like an optical encoder. • Lights from LED or infra-red light visible semiconductor diodes goes through a rotating encoded disk which contains the required code designs in binary grey code. Then, photo sensors examine the disk while it is rotating.

  13. How it works? • While the disk rotates, an electronic circuit procedures the information from rotating disk into a digital information in binary code. • Converted digital output is in binary code form because, binary code helps controllers to determine the actual angular position of the shaft or axle.

  14. How it works? • After the output converted into digital signal, a rotary encoder can helps us to know position or distance. Moreover, rotary encoders also can provide information about speed, revolution.

  15. Illustration of how it works • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder#Incremental_rotary_encoder

  16. Types of Rotary Encoders • Incremental rotary encoders • Delivers only cyclical outputs when the encoder is rotating. • Incremental rotary encoders can get one of three following signal categories: • Quadrature • Single channel • Pulse • Direction

  17. Types of Rotary Encoders Incremental rotary encoder looks like this http://img.deusm.com/designnews/289/289447-Incremental_Optical_Encoder.jpg

  18. Types of Rotary Encoders • Standard rotary encoders http://www.industrystock.com/pressenewsimages/orig/cde86e815031c45457c1ba273b8c88d0.jpg

  19. Types of Rotary Encoders • Modular rotary encoders • Modular rotary encoders are the most sensitive to motor shaft run-out and axial movement. They are commonly used in servomotors. http://img.directindustry.com/images_di/photo-m2/miniature-optical-incremental-rotary-encoder-734405.jpg

  20. Types of Rotary Encoders • Kit rotary encoders http://images.tradekool.com/199762700/Encoder-Module-Kit-Encoder-Optical-Encoder-Rotary-Encoder.jpg

  21. Types of Rotary Encoders • Single channel rotary encoders

  22. Applications • Rotary encoders have very wide-range application areas and some of them are mentioned as: • Industrial Controls • Robotics • Photographic Lenses • Cellphones • Computers • Automotive

  23. Purchasing • Rotary Position sensor can be easily purchased from many online stores • Here is some good web-sites to look if you want to buy rotary position sensor. • www.digikey.com • www.mouser.com • http://honeywell.com • www.eowave.com
