Applications
Encoder discs by application
Which code wheel fits which machine. Each application page lists the disc types we recommend and the parameters that matter most.
Servo & stepper motors
Choosing encoder discs for servo and stepper motor encoders: glass, reflective metal or PC, incremental or absolute, and the parameters to specify.

Encoder discs for industrial and collaborative robot joint encoders: reflective stainless steel discs for thin designs, absolute patterns for position at power-up.
Read more → ApplicationCNC machine tools
Glass encoder discs for CNC machine tool position feedback, spindle speed measurement and rotary tables, where resolution and long-term accuracy matter.
Read more → ApplicationMetrology & surveying
Glass encoder discs for optical metrology, measuring instruments and surveying equipment where arc-second level accuracy and stability are required.
Read more → ApplicationAutomation & motion control
Encoder discs for automation equipment, conveyor lines and motion control systems: incremental glass, metal or PC discs selected for cost, robustness and resolution.
