> A potentiometer used for position feedback is usually just called a potentiometer. I guess it's technically an encoder, but I don't think I've ever heard it referred to that way.
I have absolutely seen potentiometers called encoders in industrial applications. The underlaying technology is irrelevant. Encoders and revolvers are just transducers of position.
