Encoders for Low Voltage DC Motors

An encoder, when used with motors, is an electromechanical apparatus that translates the angular position of the shaft of the motor into an electronic signal that a processor can understand. The information is then used to calculate and report on speed of the motor, distance, revolutions per minute (RPM) or position, usually for the purpose of automatic feedback control, some kind of intervention, or shutdown.
