If you want to build a project where the machine can control the speed of the conveyer belt as well as the direction of movement, a rotary encoder is a must-have component. A rotary encoder is a type of position sensor which is used for determining the angular position of a rotating shaft. It generates an electrical signal, either analog or digital, according to the rotational movement.
600 PPR 2-Phase Incremental Optical Rotary Encoder 5-24V is a hi-resolution optical encoder with quadrature outputs for increment counting. It will give 600 transitions per rotation between outputs A and B. A quadrature decoder is required to convert the pulses to an up count. The Encoder is built to Industrial grade.
The Encoder comes with a Standard 1 m cable length which can be extended with extra cable if needed.
Consider Adding Pull up resistor to both A and B phases of the encoder output to avoid the effect of interference in output and get the precise logical output value from the encoder Also adding a pull-up resistor to all phase output lines protects the open collector output-triode from damage due to direct Vcc supply short circuit.
