360 Potentiometer Knob Rotary Encoder Module

Transform your automation systems, robotics, and other digital controls with the cutting-edge Rotary Encoder—a device designed for ultra-accurate rotational feedback and angular displacement measurements. This incremental encoder uses photoelectric scanning technology to deliver the highest quality performance in a compact package.

Features

Operating Voltage: 5V

• Engineered to operate seamlessly at a 5V voltage, this encoder ensures a low power footprint without compromising accuracy or responsiveness.

Pulse Number for One Circle: 20

• With 20 pulses per one full circle rotation, you gain a higher degree of control and granularity in your applications.

Bi-directional Counting with No Limitation

• The rotary encoder can count the output pulse times during both clockwise and counterclockwise rotations. This offers a counting method without limitations and allows for resetting to the initial status through an integrated key, restarting counting from zero.

State-of-the-art Operating Principle

• Built on the incremental encoder concept, this rotary sensor transforms rotation displacement into a series of precise digital pulse signals.
• Utilizes the photoelectric scanning principle for the transformation of angular displacement.
• The reading system is configured to eliminate interference, improving signal quality and stability.

Advanced Reading System

• The radial dividing plate rotates between light and non-light windows, which get exposed to an infrared light source.
• A diffraction grating on the receiver, matched with the plate’s window width, detects changes in light plate rotation and converts them into electrical signals.
• Signal amplification from low to high level generates square pulses devoid of interference.
• The differential method used in the reading system compares two signals with the same waveform but with a 180-degree phase difference, further improving output signal quality and stability.
