Abstract
A modular encoder and switch assembly includes a first module containing the rotor and contact elements of an electrical encoder, and a second module that contains a switch. The two modules are axially aligned and joined together in tandem. The encoder and the switch are actuated by a common shaft that is rotatable to actuate the encoder and movable axially to actuate the switch.
