Magnetic rotary encoders use contactless magnetic sensing to track rotational position accurately. At the core, they rely on a magnetic rotary position sensor made up of advanced Hall effect, AMR, GMR, or TMR sensors. These sensors detect changes in the magnetic field generated by a nearby magnetized ring.
The magnetized ring can be designed with either radial or axial magnetization, depending on the mounting setup. Radial magnetization projects the magnetic field outward around the ring’s circumference, while axial magnetization points the field along the ring’s axis. The sensor picks up these magnetic fields, converting them into electrical signals that change as the shaft rotates.
Inside the encoder, sophisticated signal processing takes place to translate these magnetic variations into precise angle and speed data. This ensures reliable 360° position feedback with minimal latency, even in harsh environments affected by dust, oil, or vibration. Thanks to this technology, magnetic rotary encoders deliver accurate rotation measurements without wear, extending lifespan and reducing maintenance.

Magnetic rotary encoders outperform optical encoders in many harsh environments. Here’s a quick comparison to show why magnetic encoders are often the better choice:
| 기능 | Magnetic Rotary Encoder | Optical Encoder |
|---|---|---|
| 내구성 | High – dust-proof, oil-tolerant | Low – sensitive to dirt & oil |
| Environmental Resistance | Excellent in vibration, moisture, shock | Moderate, prone to contamination |
| Air Gap Tolerance | Flexible, works with larger gaps | Requires precise, small gaps |
| 비용 | Generally lower total cost (less maintenance) | Higher initial & upkeep costs |
| 유지 관리 | Minimal, no cleaning needed | Regular cleaning required |
| Resolution & Accuracy | Up to 14-bit and suitable accuracy | Very high, but less robust |
In , magnetic rotary position sensors offer rugged, long-lasting feedback solutions that optical encoders can’t match in demanding conditions. For projects that need both precision and durability, magnetic encoders are the smart choice.
