The global Linear Encoders market was valued at US$ 1126 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 1648 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Linear encoder is a sensor device used to measure the position and motion of an object, which is commonly used in industrial automation and robot control systems. Its main principle is to use internal sensors to monitor the position of the target object relative to the encoder and convert the position information into a digital signal output.
Principle of operation: A linear encoder usually consists of two main parts: the encoder head and the readhead. The encoder head is fixed to a moving object, while the readhead is relatively stationary and mounted in a fixed position. The encoder head contains a grating or magnetic stripe inside the encoder head, while the readhead contains sensors to detect changes in the grating or magnetic stripe. As the object moves, the grating or magnetic stripe changes relative to the readhead and the sensor converts these changes into a digital signal to indicate the position of the object.
The global key manufacturers of Linear Encoders include Heidenhain, Sick AG, Sensata Technologies, Renishaw, Pepperl+Fuchs, Celera Motion (Novanta), TR-Electronic, Balluff, K端bler Group, RSF Elektronik, etc. In 2023, the global top 10 players had a share approximately 66.0% in terms of revenue.
Features:
High accuracy: Linear encoders are able to provide very high position measurement accuracy, typically on the scale of microns or even smaller. High speed: thanks to digital signal processing, linear encoders enable fast position detection and response for high-speed motion applications.
Reliability: Linear encoders typically have a long service life and stable performance, and are able to operate in harsh environments.
Non-contact: In contrast to traditional contact position sensors, linear encoders are non-contact measuring devices and therefore do not suffer from friction or wear and tear that can affect measurement accuracy.
Linear encoders play an important role in industrial applications, enabling position measurement with high accuracy, speed and reliability, thus providing key technical support for automated production and robot control.
In terms of product application, currently Machine Tools and CNC Machining is the largest segment, hold a share of 33.4%.
Main Applications:
Machine tools and machining equipment: linear encoders are commonly used in CNC machine tools and other machining equipment to accurately measure the position and motion trajectory of workpieces, thus realizing high-precision machining.
Robotic systems: In industrial robots and automation systems, linear encoders are used to determine the position of the robot's end-effector for precise motion control and path planning.
Manufacturing and assembly: Linear encoders are used to monitor the position of parts and assemblies on production lines to ensure accuracy and consistency in the assembly process.
Market growth driver:
Industrial automation: With the promotion of industrial automation and smart manufacturing, the application of linear encoders in machinery manufacturing and automation equipment will continue to grow.
Emerging markets: The Asia-Pacific region, especially China, Japan, South Korea, India and Southeast Asia, has great market potential and is expected to be an important driver of future market growth.
Industry Policies: National policies to support high-end manufacturing, such as Made in China 2025, will boost the linear encoder market.
Challenges: Challenges faced by the linear encoder market mainly include fierce price competition, challenges posed by technological upgrades, and the impact of global economic fluctuations on the industry.
Overall, the linear encoder market is promising and is expected to continue to grow steadily in the coming years as technology continues to advance and applications expand.
