Magnetic or inductive position encoders use magnetic fields and electromagnetic induction, respectively, to determine the exact position of an object. They are highly robust and can operate reliably in harsh environments with dust, dirt, and moisture. These encoders offer excellent accuracy and stability, making them suitable for applications requiring durability and resilience, such as automotive, industrial automation, and robotics. Magnetic and inductive encoders come in two main types: 

Rotary Encoders: These encoders measure the rotational position of an object, making them ideal for applications like motor feedback, robotics, and rotary tables. 

Linear Encoders: These encoders measure the linear position of an object, providing precise feedback for applications such as CNC machines, linear actuators, and precision measurement systems.
