Where Sin/Cos Encoders Provide High-Resolution Feedback

A SinCos encoder generates two analogue signals – sine and cosine – that represent angular position. These signals allow for fine interpolation by control systems, achieving far higher resolution than the physical line count of the encoder alone. This makes them invaluable in systems where precise speed or position control is essential.

There are several variations of SinCos encoders and converters available. Standard converters amplify and condition the sine and cosine signals to ensure clean, noise-free transmission. High-resolution modules are used where extremely fine interpolation is required, while compact designs save space in control cabinets. Rugged options are also available for harsh environments with vibration, temperature extremes, or electrical interference.

Common applications include high-precision CNC machining, robotic arms with demanding positioning requirements, semiconductor manufacturing, and inspection systems where ultra-fine measurement is critical.

Why Engineers Rely on Sin/Cos Encoders

Engineers choose sine encoders for their ability to deliver exceptional resolution and smooth, continuous feedback. They enable advanced control strategies without sacrificing speed or stability, making them ideal for critical systems that cannot tolerate errors or delays.

  • Achieve high resolution: Interpolated sine/cosine signals enable precise position tracking far beyond the native encoder resolution.
  • Support smooth motion: Continuous signals help controllers maintain stable movement, even at low speeds.
  • Ensure compatibility: Conditioned signals work reliably with a variety of advanced controllers and drives.
  • Resist interference: Properly conditioned signals reduce the risk of noise and errors in electrically demanding environments.
  • Fit demanding applications: Compact and ruggedised designs meet the needs of space-constrained or harsh industrial environments.
