Description

OPKON magnetic absolute encoders work by using a magnet and a sensor to determine the exact position of a rotating object. The magnet is attached to a rotating shaft, and as it turns, the sensor detects changes in the magnetic field. Unlike incremental encoders, absolute encoders provide a unique position value for every angle, ensuring accurate position tracking even after power loss or restarts. These encoders are widely used in industrial applications for precise motion control and positioning.
