Encoders: 60A08-8-P Application Field and Working Principle

Encoder is a device that is used to convert data into coded signals. The 60A08-8-P encoder belongs to the incremental encoder family and is a kind of transducer that converts rotary or linear positions into digital signals (i.e. pulses). Generally, the 60A08-8-P is used to measure rotational speed, position, or as an on-off switch in motion control applications. This encoder is also suitable for positioning or detecting the speed of motors, pumps, valves, and other rotating components in the industrial automation field.

Working Principle

The 60A08-8-P encoder attaches directly to the shaft of a motor or other device that needs to be controlled. The encoder has an integrated optical encoding disc that is composed of a series of tracks or fields printed on the disc. The tracks have a fixed amount of edges along with a specific radial or angular spacing. Each edge has two distinct track patterns, usually dark and light, which are detected by the sensor.

When the shaft moves, the optical encoding disc spins along with the shaft. As the edges of the discs move past the sensor, the sensor detects the light and dark edges and translates them into 1’s and 0’s data signals. The number of edges and the spacing between them determines the resolution, or the number of pulses the encoder will output for a single revolution of the shaft. In most applications, a 1000ppr (pulse per revolution) resolution is used for the 60A08-8-P.

Features

The 60A08-8-P encoder has a lot of features that make it one of the most popular encoding products on the market. It has a small size and a low profile as well as being easy to install with the help of the optional mounting brackets. Its small size also makes it light enough that it can be placed anywhere on the rotating body. It has an output frequency of up to 20 kHz and is equipped with a wide range of signal interfaces supporting UDP, RS485, SPI, CANopen, Profibus and more.

The encoder also has low jitter and crosstalk. Its hall effect sensor offers a high-speed response for better accuracy in controlling motion. The encoder also has a robust housing made of lightweight materials and offers a high level of protection against hazardous environments. This makes it ideal for use in harsh industrial conditions.

Applications

The 60A08-8-P encoder is used in many industries and applications, such as:

• Industrial automation
• Motion control
• Robotics
• Position control
• Vehicle tracking
• Packaging
• Wind turbines
• Mining

The 60A08-8-P is also popular in other industries such as aerospace, medical, defense, and communications.

Conclusion

The 60A08-8-P encoder is an indispensable tool in the industrial automation field. It is highly accurate, reliable, and easy to install. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice of encoder for many applications. With its high resolution, low jitter, and robust housing, the 60A08-8-P encoder is an ideal choice for the industrial automation field.
