Encoders are devices used for measuring the position of a rotating shaft. They generate an electrical signal when the shaft rotates, allowing speed and direction of the shaft to be monitored. The type of encoder used depends on the application. In some cases, a simple incremental encoder with a single output signal may suffice. For more complicated applications, such as those involving precision movement control, a single- or multi-turn absolute encoder may be required.

The 60A18-4-020S is a type of absolute encoder, specifically designed for use in applications requiring a high degree of accuracy in position sensing. It provides a digital output signal, which can be used to monitor the direction and speed of the shaft. The output signal is interfaced with a digital servo controller, allowing precise control of the shaft’s motion and position.

The 60A18-4-020S utilizes a contact-less optical sensing system to determine the position of the shaft. The system consists of a light source, a sensing disc, and an optical detector. The light source is a white LED (Light Emitting Diode). This LED emits a beam of light onto the sensing disc, which is a specially etched disc containing a number of coded patterns. The optical detector is installed directly facing the sensing disc and detects the coded patterns as the disc rotates.

The coded patterns on the sensing disc represent the position of the shaft. As the disc rotates, the coded patterns are synchronized with the position of the shaft. This allows the encoder to measure the angular position of the shaft with great precision. The optical detector then converts this information into a digital signal, which is then output to the servo controller. The servo controller then interprets this signal in order to accurately control the rotation of the shaft.

The 60A18-4-020S is a highly precise absolute encoder, well-suited for applications requiring precise motion control. Its contactless optical sensing system ensures reliable and accurate position sensing, allowing for precise control of the shaft’s motion and position. It is an ideal choice for applications such as robotics or machine tooling, where precise and highly repeatable motion is required.
