  • Absolute capacitative encoder
    Patent number: 10107648
    Abstract: An absolute capacitative encoder includes a PCB, a plurality of conductive sectors that generate capacitors, a rotor mounted in revolving and/or axially translating mode with respect to the PCB, the rotor being made of dielectric material and having a peripheral slot in register with the conductive sectors, a control unit electrically connected to the conductive sectors in such manner to detect the capacity of each capacitor generated by the conductive sectors, the control unit being set in such manner to detect the capacity variation between the capacitors during the rotation and/or axial translation of the rotor in order to detect the angular and/or axial position of the rotor.
