The Incremental Rotary Encoder 600 PPR is a precision position and speed sensing device used to measure rotational movement with high resolution. It generates quadrature pulse outputs as the shaft rotates, enabling accurate detection of direction, speed, and relative position. With a wide operating voltage range, this encoder is suitable for industrial automation, CNC machines, robotics, and motor control systems.
