Re: How to calculate max rpm for an encoder?

To calculate the max RPM for a sensor you should consult the manual.
To answer your question of how to calculate this you will take the sampling time at the max sampling rate and divide that by the number of poles on the sensor. This would give you a max RPM Then make sure there is no data transfer limit to the rest of the system or data read rate limits anywhere.

Yes this sensor can measure wheel velocity.
