rotary encoder angular resolution calculator online

Use rotary encoder angular resolution online for pulses per rev, decoding factor. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.

How to use it

Enter pulses per rev. Set decoding factor. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
pulses per revMain input. Whole numbers. 1024
decoding factorOption. Whole numbers. 4

Calculation method

counts_per_rev = positive(pulses_per_rev)*positive(decoding_factor); degrees_per_count = 360/(pulses_per_rev*decoding_factor) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply rotary encoder angular resolution to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.

Rotary Encoder Angular Resolution — worked case

Settings: decoding factor: 4

Input:

1024

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "counts_per_rev": 4096,
  "degrees_per_count": 0.087890625
}

Choose the right tool

Use forward kinematics to map joints to a position and inverse kinematics for reachable position targets. Encoder resolution is not mechanical accuracy; supplied motion and gripping models do not certify a robot cell.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
