Abstract

See full text

A rotary encoder that is capable of securing a sufficient synthesis tolerance while achieving miniaturization is provided. The rotary encoder 1 includes a rotor 3, a stator 4, and a calculating unit 5 for calculating the rotation angle. The rotor 3 has a first rotor pattern 31 with a plurality of unit patterns 310 arranged along the measurement direction around the rotating shaft 2, and a second rotor pattern 32 with fewer unit patterns 320 than the plurality of unit patterns 310 in the first rotor pattern 310 arranged along the measurement direction. The number of the plurality of unit patterns 310 of the first rotor pattern 31 and the number of the plurality of unit patterns 320 of the second rotor pattern 32 are provided such that the maximum common divisor therebetween is two or more. The calculating unit calculates the rotation angle of the rotor 3 based on the detection signals from the first rotor pattern 31 and the second rotor pattern 32.
