Absolute Encoders icon Absolute Encoders

US Digital designs and manufactures absolute encoders using both optical and magnetic technologies. Unlike incremental encoders, which output a change in shaft position, absolute encoders read the actual position of the shaft, allowing the system to know the exact location immediately at power-up without requiring a homing cycle.

Absolute Encoder Kits

Kit-style absolute encoders enable easy assembly onto a motor or other rotating shaft. Each US Digital absolute encoder kit is available with a digital output and an optional analog output scalable to application needs.

Shaft Absolute Encoders

Absolute shaft encoders incorporate their own shaft and bearing assembly, which in turn is coupled to the motor shaft with a belt, gear train or coupling. The encoder may then report shaft angles within a single 360-degree shaft rotation without stops or gaps.
