MAGNET ENCODER

An encoder is a sensor which turns a position into an electronic signal. There are two forms:

• Absolute encoders give an absolute position value.
• Incremental encoders count movement rather than position. With detection of a datum position and the use of a counter, an absolute position may be derived.

The position may be measured as either linear or angular position:

• A Linear encoder converts linear position to an electronic signal
• A Rotary encoder converts rotary position to an electronic signal

Magnets are found in all kinds of restaurant equipment and serve many purposes. Magnets are useful for their "stickiness" with ferrous metals. In the simplest foodservice equipment designs they are used to keep swinging doors secure on rolling service carts. Some more complex uses integrate magnets with motorized systems to provide contactless magnetic drives as seen in certain high volume blending systems.
