Motion Control Encoders Market Outlook-2026

Encoders are sensing devices that are employed for providing feedback. The primary function of encoder is to convert rotary motion to an electrical signal.  This electrical signals provided by the encoder are easily read by control device in a motion control system. The examples of control devices are counter and PLC. The encoders send a feedback signal that is used to determine position, count, speed, or direction of a machine. Encoders are mainly used for motor feedback and positioning systems. They are one of the critical elements in a motion control system, because they provide position and velocity feedback to the motion controller which enables the controller to close the control loop. The encoder presents position control in robotics, packaging, lead/ball screw, pick and place, rotary table positioning, and component insertion applications.

Rise in production of vehicles is the key factor for driving the growth of the motion control encoders market. Also, the increase in demand for lightweight vehicles is fueling the motion control encoders market growth. The increasing demand for self-driving vehicles is also boosting the growth of the motion control encoders market. Rise in demand for accuracy and speed is also propelling the growth of the motion control encoders market. The market of motion control encoder is highly competitive and the key strategies adopted by the key players are new product launch, product development, business expansion, merger, and acquisition. For instance, in January 2019, Aerotech Inc. announced its partnership with Micronix USA. This strategic partnership is expected to offer complementary precision motion products to the industrial and research markets. The partnership expands the capabilities of each company allowing for further industry applications that require powerful, easy-to-use nano positioning products. Together, the companies are expected to offer a larger range of stages, controllers, drives, and software for positioning in the most advanced applications.
