A linear encoder is a device that uses one or more motors to provide rotary input to a drive shaft and produce linear motion as output. Linear encoders are widely used in robotics, computer numerical control (CNC) manufacturing, and industrial automation systems.
The main difference between a typical mechanical encoder found in a robot controller group is that it has on-off operation, the “on” state is imparted by a magnet attached to the rotor, and the “off” state is given by some other means, such as mechanical contact or the force exerted by a vacuum.
This makes efficient energy consumption If decoding does not require external energy. Many encoders are used in disk drives.
Analog and digital outputs are available for more complex applications; for example, Bosch proportional valves can operate using the two-wire digital HART protocol via the “extended linearization” method. In addition to the BNO055 magnetic encoder, many other analog and digital encoders are produced.
The most common variety is an optical linear encoder, which uses infrared LEDs and phototransistors and the well-known principle of photoelectric conversion to convert the position of the motor’s output shaft into an electrical signal on a pair of conductors (the output).

How does a linear encoder work?
Linear encoders are devices that are widely used in robots, disk drives, and various other automation systems. In a linear encoder, the output shaft is rotated by a motor using gears.
The gears are contained in boxes called encoders. The shaft in the encoder is fixed at one end of the box and rotates in the box by means of gears. The output shaft rotates together with the output shaft, and then moves in a certain direction at a certain angle, as shown in the figure.
When the rotating shaft is outside the box, it will be blocked by some blocks and will no longer rotate. The stop is fixed and can be rotated inside the case with the help of gears. The signal between the motor and the motor controller is a two-phase signal. The first stage indicates that the output shaft is open, and the second stage indicates that the output shaft is blocked. This two-phase signal will be sent to our PLC system via Modbus protocol, and we can easily drive our robot based on this signal.
Incremental Linear Encoder
one Incremental encoder It is a device widely used in robots, disk drives and other types of automation systems. The word “increment” actually means adding up. For example, if we rotate 15 degrees to the left and add it to the last value, which is 15 degrees to the right, the incremental encoder will count 20 degrees. Typically, an incremental encoder can count from 0 to 63,000, so it can easily be used with most automatic control systems.
There are two types of incremental encoders: non-rotating incremental electromagnetic linear encoders and rotary incremental optical linear encoders. The principle is the same for both.
In a non-rotating incremental electromagnetic linear encoder, a magnet is attached to the shaft and there are two stators on each side. When the two stators are moved by this magnet, they emit an electrical signal.
One set of signals is used to count forward and the other set of signals is used to count backward. Therefore, we can count the number of rotations in both directions.Also, we can calculate the orientation by checking these Signal easily.
For example, if we turn 15 degrees to the left and add to the last value, which is 15 degrees to the right, the Increment Encoder will count 20 degrees (=15+15).
How do magnetic linear encoders work?
Magnetic linear encoders are devices that are widely used in robotics, disk drives, and various other automation systems. In a magnetic linear encoder, the output shaft is rotated by a motor using gears.
The gears are contained in boxes called encoders. The shaft in the encoder is fixed at one end of the box and rotates in the box by means of gears. The output shaft rotates together with the output shaft, and then moves in a certain direction at a certain angle, out of the box, as shown in the figure.
When the shaft is the outer box, it will be blocked by some blocks and will no longer rotate.
