Simple snap-on encoder wheels for TT gearbox motors. These injection-moulded plastic discs attach to the opposite end of the motor shaft from your wheel, letting you measure rotation speed using a photo interrupter sensor to count the ticks as the encoder spins.
An easy, low-cost way to add speed feedback to your TT motor-driven robot — although note that this single-slot design provides speed measurement only, not rotation direction.
Key Features
- Snap-On Fit – Oval notch clips directly onto TT motor shafts
- Speed Measurement – Use with a photo interrupter sensor to count ticks
- Slim Profile – Thin design won't add bulk to your robot
- Pack of 2 – One encoder per motor for a two-wheel robot
Ideal For
- Adding speed feedback to TT motor robot projects
- Odometry and distance tracking
- Closed-loop motor speed control
Package Contents
- 2× TT Motor Encoder Wheels
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- encoder
- A device attached to a motor or shaft that reports movement, such as rotation steps or position. In a pump system, an encoder can help measure or control how much the motor has turned, which affects how repeatable the watering amount can be.
