Abstract
A rotary encoder includes a rotating shaft, first and second encoder wheels, first and second detectors and a processor. The first encoder wheel includes coaxially disposed first and second portions. The first portion has first graduation features. The second portion has a first positioning structure. The second encoder wheel includes coaxially disposed third and fourth portions. The third portion has second graduation features. The fourth portion has a second positioning structure meshing with the first positioning structure, so that the first graduation features and the second graduation features are staggered, and the first encoder wheel and the second encoder wheel are coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft. The first and second detectors detect the first and second graduation features and output first and second signals, respectively. The processor calculates a rotating angle of the rotating shaft according to the first and second signals.
