Introduction to Encoders

Encoders are a kind of electrical component, which are used to change signals from one form into another. In current electrical engineering applications, encoders have been widely used to provide feedback signals for programmable logic controllers and industrial automation. They can convert the position information of a motor into a digital output signal, providing feedback control for motor control and position control systems.

Types of Encoders

There are three main types of encoders: rotary, linear, and optical. Rotary encoder is the most common type of encoder. It can detect the exact angle or position of a rotating shaft and convert it into digital or analog signals for further processing. Linear encoder can detect the displacement of a movable object in a linear direction. Optical encoder is a kind of encoder using light to detect the displacement of an object. It has higher accuracy and faster speed than mechanical encoders.

60A18-8-080S Encoder

60A18-8-080S is a type of rotary encoder manufactured by Siemens. It is designed for motor speed detection and control. The encoder is equipped with two Hall rows that generate signals when a magnetic field passes through them. The Hall rows of the encoder can detect the position of a rotating shaft and convert it into digital signals in a serial format.

60A18-8-080S Application Fields

60A18-8-080S encoder is mainly used for motor speed detection and motor control in the fields of industrial automation, robotics, lift controll, medical equipment, and other industries. The encoder can be used in the position control system as the feedback device for motor control, providing stable and accurate feedback for controlling the position information of the motor.

60A18-8-080S Working Principle

The working principle of 60A18-8-080S encoder is based on the Hall effect. The encoder has two Hall rows and a magnet. When the rotating shaft moves, the Hall rows will generate signals with different phase angles. The generated signals are converted to digital signals by the signal processing circuit inside the encoder. The output is a digital signal in a serial format, which can be used for further processing.

Conclusion

60A18-8-080S encoder is a rotary encoder designed for motor speed detection and control. The encoder is equipped with two Hall rows and a magnet and utilizes the Hall effect to generate the signals. The output is a digital signal in a serial format, which can be used for further processing. 60A18-8-080S encoder can be used in the fields like industrial automation, robotics, lift controll, medical equipment, and other industries.
