Encoder Calculator
Derive encoder resolution from PPR/CPR, quadrature factor and mechanical travel.
CALCULATOR
Enter values
USAGE
How to use it
- Enter the base resolution.
- Choose x1, x2 or x4 decoding.
- Add travel and RPM for linear resolution and frequency.
FORMULA
Calculation
counts/rev = PPR × quadrature; pulse/mm = counts/rev / mm/revExample
600 PPR at x4 = 2400 counts/rev
TECHNICAL
Technical notes
- Vendors may define PPR and CPR differently; verify the datasheet.
