Abstract

A measuring device includes a rotary encoder having a rotary scale and a plurality of detection portions, and a control device. The rotary scale are arranged around a rotation axis and has a scale pattern in which a plurality of patterns are arranged along a circumferential direction. The plurality of detection portions are arranged around the rotation axis, and reads the plurality of patterns from the scale pattern. The control device causes one or some detection portions to perform a first reading of the plurality of patterns at a first timing, causes another or other detection portions different from the one or some detection portions to perform a second reading of the plurality of patterns at a second timing different from the first timing, and calculates a measurement result based on a first reading result of the first reading and a second reading result of the second reading.
