25LB22-Q

Encoders are useful machine control components used to measure the angular position of a rotary shaft. 25LB22-Q is a high-performance encoder manufactured by Baumer which offers high accuracy and resolution for various applications. This article will explore the application field and working principle of the 25LB22-Q encoder.

Applications

The Baumer 25LB22-Q encoder is a robust and reliable device suited for applications such as:

• Automation systems
• Robotics
• Machine Tools
• Monitors, image processing
• Wind power conversion systems
• Automotive industry
• Servo and stepper motors

The 25LB22-Q is perfectly suited for applications which requires high exactitude and repeatability such as measuring, controlling and regulating of machines. It is also suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications due to its IP67 protective casing.

Working principle

The 25LB22-Q encoder consists of two parts – the rotor and the stator. The stator is a stationary part with a circular array of magnetic poles. The rotor is an encoder wheel with slots that pass through the stator assembly. As the encoder wheel rotates, the magnetic bars in the stator cut through the slots in the rotor. This generates an electrical signal which the encoder uses to measure angular position. The number of slots can vary, depending on the desired resolution of the output signal.

The 25LB22-Q incorporates an advanced optical scanning technology to generate accurate and repeatable measurements. This scanning system consists of two light sources - an infrared transmitter and an array of light detectors. As the rotor passes the infrared transmitter, the light is reflected off the rotor slots, which is then detected by the sensors in the stator. This creates a pulsed signal which is amplified and used to determine the angular position of the rotor.

The 25LB22-Q is a high-performance encoder which offers a variety of features for ease of use and long-term stability. This includes protective rubberized coatings for use in harsh environments, quiet operation, and high resolution output signals. The 25LB22-Q is also compatible with a variety of power sources, including AC and DC current.

Conclusion

The Baumer 25LB22-Q encoder is a reliable and highly accurate encoder designed for applications in the automation industry. It has a variety of features such as IP67 protection, optical scanning technology and high resolution output signals. This ensures users can obtain reliable and repeatable measurements for a wide range of applications.
