PEC11L-4220K-S0015

Encoders can be used to accurately measure linear or rotational displacement either by absolute or incremental reading. Most commonly used in robotics, motor control, navigation systems, surface inspection, and various mechanical and electronic applications, encoders are devices used to measure motor speed, position, and direction.The PEC11L-4220K-S0015 is an incremental rotary encoder that provides an electrical signal by reading incremental angular displacement. It has a maximum rotating speed of 1000rpm and operates with a 5 VDC supply. The encoder also includes a built-in push-button switch for non-contact actuation and lever models for detent feeling torque.One of the most common applications for the PEC11L-4220K-S0015 incremental rotary encoder is in robotic arms. Search and rescue robots, for example, rely on precise control of the arm to grasp and move objects. The arm must be able to determine its position in order to effectively perform a task. The encoder provides this information to the robotic arm by measuring its rotation angle.The PEC11L-4220K-S0015 also finds application in motor control systems. It is commonly employed in automotive applications such as ABS brakes and traction control, automotive suspension systems, active steering systems, gear shifts, and fuel injection systems. The encoder measures the position of a crankshaft in order to accurately control the actuator.The PEC11L-4215K-S0015 also finds application in a variety of surface inspection systems including optical character recognition systems, thickness gauging, three-dimensional metrology, vision-based sorting, pattern recognition, automated chemical analysis, robot guidance, and position sensing. It is often used to accurately measure the distance that an object has travelled or the angle between two surfaces.The PEC11L-4220K-S0015 works by sensing a change in magnetic field. It consists of a single or double loop of coils that are magnetically sensitive. As the encoder shaft is rotated, the magnetic field changes and this change is detected by the internal electronics. This is used to generate a signal, usually a pulse train, that is proportional to the rotation of the shaft. This pulse train can then be used to feed into a system to accurately measure displacement.The PEC11L-4220K-S0015 is a high performance, cost-effective incremental rotary encoder that provides reliable, accurate displacement measurement. With its rugged construction and superior reliability, it is suitable for use in a wide range of industrial and robotic applications.
