Better by Design: Hollow-shaft encoder. Dec. 1, 2011. Noncontact magnetic rotary encoders are hard to beat when it comes to measuring rotary motion in machinery, as they are relatively small ...

As an encoder, a stepper motor has nothing absolute. There is no stop, no indicator of position, you have to count steps and direction to give a sense of anything. As a motor, it works tge same way.

Commercial shaft encoders use magnets and Hall-effect sensors, or optical sensors and encoder discs. But these can be quite expensive, so [Hello1024] hacked together an alternative in an afternoon.

Now offered in standard inch shaft and coupling sizes, the T-Line 40-mm series of incremental rotary encoders are compact, 40-mm diameter (1.57 in.) encoders that come standard with an integral 2 ...
