Encoders are a form of transducer that convert one signal format into another. With the development of electronics industry, encoders applied in measuring speed, angular displacement, length, and other control related items become increasingly common. Among all the encoders, 01070-951 stands out due to its excellent performances and long service life. This article will discuss in detail the application field and working principle of 01070-951.

01070-951 is a kind of optical incremental encoder, which is widely used in industrial automation. It can monitor the relative position change of motor shaft by sensing the phase difference of two light sources that interference with each other, and thus the encoder can produce absolute pulse signals for transportation. In more specific applications, 01070-951 can be applied in the measuring system of X-axis and Y-axis, in the fields of cnc laser/machine tools, robots, and so on. Moreover, when combined with a digital control system, 01070-951 can help to monitor the precision, accuracy, control parameters, and speed of the process, all of which contributes to the quality and time management in production. Also, 01070-951 can be used in the electronic industry as a deceleration regulating device, due to its excellent performance in mitigating the impact caused by uneven road surface.

In general, encoders can be divided into two main categories according to their working principles: incremental and absolute. 01070-951 is an incremental encoder, which produces incremental pulse signals in proportion to the angular displacement. Specifically, the encoder has a light detection system consisting of a light source and a sensor. Usually, the light source is a light emitting diode (LED) source that produces a light beam with black/white pattern, and the sensor is called a photodetector. The black/white patterned light beam generated by the LED source reaches the sensor and generates a certain number of counts. When the motor shaft rotates, the reflected light beam turns its phase difference, which leads to the change in the number of counts, and finally transfers to incremental pulse signals accordingly.

As for 01070-951, it has two light sources and two sensors to detect the light beam that is sent from the front and back sides. By this way, 01070-951 can sense the displacement of axis up to 360°. The output signals from 01070-951 can be either current or voltage pulses, with both single-channel and double-channel options being available, and the pulse frequency can reach 10kHz. In addition, the 01070-951 also has a wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +85°C, which makes it suitable for most applications in various environments.

In summary, 01070-951 is a kind of optical incremental encoder with excellent performances, which makes it an ideal choice for applications in various industrial automation measuring systems. This article has analyzed the application field and working principle of 01070-951 in depth. We can see that with two light sources and two sensors, and a wide temperature range as well as a high pulse frequency, this encoder can help to monitor the precision, accuracy, control parameters, and speed of the production and alleviate the impact caused by uneven road surface.
