  Encoders (rotary systems) are measuring systems for sensing the position, angle, speed, and velocity on machines. Encoders can electronically monitor the position of a rotating shaft. They provide position control in packaging, robotics, pick and place, lead/ball screw, rotary table positioning, and component insertion applications. Encoders are critical elements in a motion system, as they provide position and velocity feedback to the motion controlle r, enabling the controller to close the control loop. Brushless-DC (BLDC) motors, which are being used widely due to their efficiency and controllability. BLDC need the system controller to know precisely when to energize and de-energize the motor's coils to maintain proper rotation. This factor fuels the demand for motion control encoder. Furthermore, the rise in production of vehicles and the increase in demand for lightweight vehicles are projected to boost the motion control encoder market during the forecast period. Accur...
