The present application relates to a rotational joint and a device having the same. The rotational joint includes a joint housing, a driving device mounted in the joint housing, and an encoder module mounted on the driving device. The driving device includes inner shaft and an outer shaft surrounding the inner shaft and radially spaced apart from the inner shaft. The encoder module includes a first disk assembly configured to rotate synchronously with the outer shaft, a second disk assembly configured to rotate synchronously with the inner shaft, a first sensor assembly disposed adjacent to the first disk assembly to detect movement of a disk of the first disk assembly, and a second sensor assembly disposed adjacent to the second disk assembly to detect movement of a disk of the second disk assembly. A disk surface of the first disk assembly and a disk surface of the second disk assembly are arranged to be coplanar and radially spaced apart by at least a predetermined distance. The device includes at least one rotational joint.
A rotational joint, comprising a joint housing, a driving device mounted in the joint housing, and an encoder module mounted on the driving device, the driving device comprising an inner shaft and an outer shaft surrounding the inner shaft and radially spaced apart from the inner shaft, wherein the encoder module comprises:
