Description
Rotary Encoder Pot With Threading
The Rotary Encoder Pot with Threading is a compact rotary input module that combines a mechanical rotary encoder with a threaded shaft for secure panel mounting. It generates digital pulse signals when the knob is rotated, allowing precise detection of rotation direction and steps. Unlike traditional potentiometers, it does not measure absolute position but instead provides incremental rotation data, making it ideal for menu navigation, parameter adjustment, and user interface control in embedded systems.
