Encoder – The heart of a controlled drive system

Encoder systems form the metrological backbone of modern drive technology. They measure rotational speed, angular position, and rotor position of rotary axes in real time and form the basis for precise closed-loop control between the motor and the controller.

Whether in materials handling technology, robotics, or machine tools - anywhere where dynamics, precision, and reproducible motion sequences are required - encoders ensure reliability in detecting motor movement. In SEW-EURODRIVE’s modular motor system, you’ll find the right encoder technology for every application - optimally integrated, precisely tuned, and flexibly scalable.
