Encoders are sensors that generate digital signals in response to movement. Both shaft encoders, which respond to rotation, and linear encoders, which respond to motion in a line.

What are linear rotary oscillating and reciprocating movements?

Linear movement refers to motion along a straight path, while rotary movement involves circular motion around an axis. Oscillating movement is characterized by a back-and-forth motion, typically around a central point, like a pendulum. Reciprocating movement combines linear motion in opposite directions, such as the up-and-down motion of a piston in an engine.


Difference between linear IC and Digital IC?

In linear IC'S the output voltage is very according to input voltage In digital IC's the output voltage is either high or low


Mechanism to transfer linear to rotary motion?

"Think of a simple single cylinder engine....crankshaft goes round & round,piston goes up & down,connecting rod keeps the two tied together...wa la!" This type of linear motion is known as reciprocating motion, where the linear motion is a repetitive up and down, or back and forth action. The linear motion velocity of a wheel and crank system is not uniform and conforms to a sinusodial curve, i.e. it is slowest at the 0º and 180º positions and fastest at the 90º position. To get uniform linear motion from uniform rotary motion, you can use a threaded shaft and thread follower arrangement, or a rack and pinion. btw, it's "voila!".


What are hydraulics?

hydraulics is the use of an incompressible fluid to perform work by displacing areas, which will create either linear or rotary movement of actuators.

Main difference between rotary and linear potentiometer?

A rotary potentiometer is designed to measure rotational movement, providing a variable resistance output based on the position of a rotating shaft. On the other hand, a linear potentiometer measures linear movement, offering a variable resistance output based on the linear position of the sliding wiper along a straight track.

How does linear motion turn into rotary motion?

Linear motion can be converted to rotary motion using mechanisms like gears, pulleys, or cams. For example, a rotating gear can engage with another gear to convert linear motion into rotary motion. This conversion allows for transferring power from one direction to another efficiently.
