Absolute Rotary Encoders (200 companies)
Absolute rotary encoders use optical, mechanical, or magnetic indexing for angular measurement. They do not lose their position after power-down, but instead provide absolute position upon power-up without requiring a home cycle or any shaft rotation.

Incremental Rotary Encoders (281 companies)
Incremental rotary encoders are multi-turn sensors that use optical, mechanical, or magnetic index-counting for angular measurement. They contain no absolute reference, but instead count relative to the turn-on position.

Inertial and Gyro Systems (67 companies)
Inertial and gyro systems use a combination of accelerometers and angular rate sensors (gyroscopes) to detect altitude, location, and motion. They may also be capable of detecting attitude, position, velocity, temperature, or magnetic field.

Magnetometers (51 companies)
Magnetometers are scientific instruments that measure the strength and/or direction of a magnetic field. There are two basic types: scalar and vector. Learn more about Magnetometers

Rotary Encoder Disks (12 companies)
Rotary encoder disks are round or disk-shaped and have evenly-spaced holes or markings around their perimeter. Learn more about Rotary Encoder Disks

Rotary Position Sensors (149 companies)
Rotary position sensors include potentiometers, resolvers and a variety of magnetic and capacitive technologies. Sensors are designed for angular displacement less than one turn or for multiturn displacement.
