A rotary encoder for producing a pair of pulse trains with a desired phase difference therebetween is provided. The encoder comprises a rotary plate provided with a plurality of slits arranged in the form of a ring and a stationary slit plate provided with two sets of slits spaced apart at a particular distance. In accordance with the present invention, a single light source and a pair of light-receiving elements are provided, and the rotary and stationary slit plates are provided such that their distance may be appropriately adjusted. With such a structure, a phase difference between the two signals obtained by the light-receiving elements may be precisely adjusted to an intended value. |
