    Advantages of encoders vs. resolvers

    Rick Rice
    Encoders have a distinct advantage over resolvers in accuracy and speed, but resolvers dominate in harsh environments

    Encoders and resolvers—giving you a sense of where things are

    Tom Stevic
    Whether it is rotational angle, speed feedback or actuator position, rotary encoders and resolvers can give you a sense of where things are.
