--- title: Motion Control Encoders url: https://www.broadcom.com/products/motion-control-encoders description: Broadcom is a leading supplier of motion control encoders including incremental and absolute encoders for motor feedback and positioning systems. --- # Motion Control Encoders Broadcom is a leading supplier of motion control optical and magnetic encoders including incremental and absolute encoders for motion feedback and positioning systems. These incremental encoders and absolute encoders meet the stringent requirements of precise positioning and velocity sensing in a wide range of applications from industrial machines, robotic arms, lift, elevator, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), automated guided vehicle (AGV), solar panel tracking, medical devices, factory automation and semiconductor equipment. In the industrial automation market, Broadcom offers “one-stop shopping” with its extensive portfolios of encoders and line drivers. We offer the industry’s smallest form factors, wide range of resolutions and higher level of integration to reduce the number of components needed and shorten the time to market. Broadcom is the main supplier of absolute encoders based on the proprietary Energy Harvesting Multi-Turn counter. The state of the art solution has supported the digitization of industrial machineries worldwide, though the integration into servo motors from major OEM makers. Complementing its encoder products, Broadcom also offers a wide range of [accessories](https://www.broadcom.com/products/motion-control-encoders/accessories/) including cables, connectors, code wheels, alignment tools, programming kits and accuracy calibration stations. ## Corporate Affiliates ![eltra-logo.png](https://www.broadcom.com/media/blt4ac44e0e6c6d8341/blte796c7a8728ea4f1/624d157c5b71147a38d9e88b/eltra-logo.png) [Eltra S.p.a.](http://www.eltra.it/) Via G.
