In combination with the FAULHABER BL-motors, the absolute encoder is ideal for commutation, rotational speed control and position control. Absolute means that each shaft position within a revolution is assigned a unique angular value. Sine commutation is also possible with an absolute encoder.
Unlike the incremental encoder, an absolute encoder determines absolute positions, not relative positions. After switching on the absolute encoder, an absolute return value is available for each position of the motor shaft. A distinction is made between single turn and multi turn encoders. FAULHABER offers both single turn and multi turn encoders.
