<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absolute encoder utilizing an architecture of an incremental encoder. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A wheel 100 includes a circular wheel body 102 and a plurality of grids 104. The grids 104 include a primary grid 104A which is a main grid arranged on a reference line, and secondary grid units 104B, 104C which are a plurality of sub-grids arranged on at least one adjustment line. The number of grids of the sub-grids 104B, 104C is smaller by one than the number of grids of the main grid 104A. For example, if the number of grids of the main grid 104A is 2,500, the number of grids of each sub-grid 104B, 104C is 2,499. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
