Adafruit CNC Rotary Encoder - 100 Pulses per Rotation - 60mm Silver

Large-sized rotary encoders offer seamless control for CNC machines and other devices requiring precise, manual adjustments. With 100 segments per rotation, aligning with measurement units like inches or centimeters becomes effortless.

These encoders are designed for applications where a comprehensive 360-degree tactile interface is needed. Unlike PCB-mount variants, they're equipped with screw terminal blocks for easy wiring, allowing connection to any DC voltage at VCC and ground. Outputs A and B provide directional and motion pulses, integrating smoothly with various rotary encoder tutorials.

Perfect for use as rotation sensors or selectors, they differ from potentiometers, as they lack a defined position. Instead, a microcontroller tracks the number of 'clicks' for precise control. Ideal for projects that require continuous 360-degree rotation and tactile feedback.
