7.3.1 Linear encoders

The Linear Encoder uses a transducer to measure the linear distance between two points. These encoders can use a rod or a cable that is run between the encoder transducer and the object that will be measured for movement. As the object moves, the transducer's data collected from the rod or cable creates an output signal that is linear to the object's movement. As the distance is measured, the Linear Encoder uses this information to determine the position of the object.

An example of where a linear encoder may be used is for a CNC milling machine where precise movement measurements are required for accuracy in manufacturing. Linear Encoders can be "Absolute" or "Incremental".
