Incremental rotary encoders are multi-turn sensors that use optical, mechanical, or magnetic index-counting for angular measurement. They contain no absolute reference, but instead count relative to the turn-on position.
Resistors are electrical components that oppose the flow of either direct or alternating current. They are used to protect, operate, or control circuits.
Rotary position sensors include potentiometers, resolvers and a variety of magnetic and capacitive technologies. Sensors are designed for angular displacement less than one turn or for multiturn displacement.
Switches are used to allow electric current to flow when closed. When opened, they prevent current flow. Common switch types include pushbutton, rocker, toggle, rotary coded DIP, rotary DIP, key lock, slide, snap action, and reed.
