Market Definition
A feedback-generating sensor is referred to as an encoder. Encoders transform a signal's movement into an electrical signal that a counter can read, a programmable logic controller, or another control device in a motion control system. The feedback signal from the encoder can be used to determine position, count, speed, or direction. Using this data, a control device can transmit a command for a particular action.
Encoder Market Dynamics
Drivers
- The market is expanding due to an increase in the use of encoders in automobiles and other applications
The market for encoders is expected to grow faster thanks to the increasing demand for velocity control, temperature control, position sensing, and volume control. These include consumer electronics, industrial machinery, robotics, elevators, and conveyor speed monitors, where motors are used with automated machinery and drives. The market's growth is significantly aided by the rise in the number of vehicles on the road and the rise in auto parts production. Encoders are being used more frequently in the production of cars because they provide the automated guided vehicle controller with data on acceleration, rotational position, and real-time speed. Due to the rapid development of automotive automation, encoder use is growing among automakers.
- The market is expanding due to a surge in demand for rotary encoders
Their expanding use in the automotive industry is the primary factor driving up demand for rotary encoders. In the automotive sector, they are used for the throttle, steering, and gear positions. The use of these rotary encoders in the aerospace industry, where they are used for automation, is another factor that contributes to the market segment's growth. So, increasing rotary encoder demand is anticipated to fuel market expansion.
Opportunities
- The growing use of industrial robotics creates opportunities for encoders
Industrial robotic applications would be one of the markets for encoders' many potential applications. Automation in numerous industries will eventually drive demand for robotics, which will also drive up demand for rotary angle sensors. Another dynamic industry where there are expected to be many opportunities and an increase in encoder demand over the forecast period is the electronic industry.
- The development of technology creates a market demand
Magnetic encoder technology is a rapidly growing field. Bearing-less systems have experienced a significant shift in the market, allowing encoders to be mounted in places without practical mounting options. This is due to a lack of mounting spaces or free shaft ends. Magnetic orders are created using magnetic scales with different lengths, patterns, and tracks. Thus, the development of technology opens up new market opportunities.
Restraints/Challenges
- The complexity and brittleness of encoder components limit market expansion
Through the few fragile parts and potential complexity, encoders face several problems and limitations that limit their ability to withstand competition. Finding an optical encoder that could withstand higher temperatures would be difficult. Pollution has the potential to harm or even destroy optical encoders. Oil, dust, or dirt can make their fine-pitch scales, photodetectors, and LEDS non-functional. One of the biggest problems with encoders is their mechanical fragility.
- Issues with the encoders' accuracy restraint it from growing
Encoder accuracy is the discrepancy between the value the encoder reads and the actual physical value being measured. The inaccuracy may result from several different error sources. For instance, there may be variations in the line widths on the optical encoder disk. The encoder's pulses may have a small timing error as a result. Persistent errors can add to the workload and hurt the market for encoders.
