SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above-described conventional moderation encoder, the moderation plate having the moderation groove 7a, the circular comb tooth-shaped contacts 8 and 9 for the pulse, and the contact point of the brush 3 The rotary insulating plate 2 set so that the portion and the moderating spring contact portion 5a have the same positional relationship is slid by the rotation of the operation shaft 1, but here the center of the two plates is eccentric. Then, at the initial stage, even if the brush contact and the circular comb-shaped contact make contact in parallel, for example,
When the 90 ° rotating insulating plate 2 is rotated, the brush contact and the circular comb-shaped contacts 8, 9 come into contact with each other at an angle α. As described above, every time the rotation angle of the rotary insulating plate 2 changes, the angle formed between the contact portion of the brush 3 and the circular comb-shaped contacts 8, 9 changes, and the positional relationship also changes. Eliminates signal and moderation variations when the operation axis is an important item, and electrically closes the terminals 13b and 14b when the moderation spring contact 5a is inserted into the moderation groove 7a, that is, when the operation axis is stable. There is a problem that the state cannot be guaranteed.
