Abstract:
An encoder includes a base, a cylinder rotatable in a circumferential direction with respect to the base, at least three supporting portions rotatably supporting the cylinder with respect to the base, a connecting portion provided on the cylinder and rotatable within a first range between two supporting portions of the at least three supporting portions, a scale attached to the cylinder, and a detector configured to detect a position of the cylinder with respect to the base by using the scale, and the detector is arranged within a second range different from the first range.
