Description
TRD-N Series - Medium Duty
Medium-duty rotary incremental encoders are the most popular encoders we offer. The product line has the greatest flexibility of choice while maintaining very high quality, all for a very low price.
TRD-GK Series - Heavy Duty
These heavy-duty rotary incremental encoders are the most rugged encoders you can buy. Top-of-the-line bearings help maintain a service life of 12 billion revolutions.
TRD-NA Series - Medium Duty, absolute encoders
Why use an absolute encoder?
An absolute encoder uses gray code to describe each position, so position data is not lost when power is cycled.
When power is cycled using an incremental encoder, any positioning information is lost until “home” position is triggered.
