While optical encoders have long been the standard, magnetic encoders are emerging as a compelling alternative due to their durability, cost-efficiency, and versatility. In this article, we’ll compare the pros and cons of both encoder technologies and explain why Oriental Motor's magnetic encoders deserve a closer look for a wider range of applications.
