A rotary encoder typically outputs digital pulses or analog signals using optical, magnetic, or mechanical methods, while a resolver uses electromagnetic induction to produce sine/cosine analog signals. Encoders often provide higher resolution, while resolvers are robust in harsh environments.
Resolution, specified in bits (8–16), determines the smallest detectable angular change. Higher resolution is needed for precise positioning, but it may increase cost and data processing requirements. Consider the required accuracy and control system capability.
Operating temperature (-40°C to 85°C) and protection class (IP54–IP67) are critical. For dusty or wet environments, choose a higher IP rating. Also, consider vibration, shock, and electromagnetic interference, which may require additional shielding.
Check the datasheet for exact values of resolution, accuracy, supply voltage, output signal, shaft diameter, max speed, and other parameters. Confirm compliance with standards like IEC 60529 for protection class. Always consult the manufacturer or supplier for model-specific verification.
