Rotational sensing is used in a variety of applications, including cars, motor shafts and turbines. Traditionally in these types of applications, designers have used mechanical or optical solutions to sense rotation, but with tradeoffs.

Learn how you can use Hall Effect sensors to measure speed and direction in your rotary encoder application! Contact-less Hall Effect technology senses a magnet that is built into the rotor and allows designers to do the same type of quadrature output that traditional rotary encoders use, but with higher reliability and performance, while reducing system cost.
