An encoder is a position sensing device. They are used to sense rotary motion and they provide feedback, via an electrical signal, to a processor, controller, or computer. Therefore they are used in automated machinery and test systems in conjuction with friction and measuring wheels, ball screws, timing pullies, rack and pinion actuation, etc..
