Angle Conversion Tables - Zettlex Inductive Encoders

Home / Zettlex Inductive Encoders / Angle Conversion Tables

We have compiled a series of look-up tables to help engineers convert between the most common angular units. This is particularly useful when specifying requirements for a new angular position sensor.
