Encoders: 61K100-060 Application Field and Working Principle

Encoders are devices that help to detect or measure motion or position. The 61K100-060 encoder is a rotary encoder used in a variety of automation and control applications. This article examines the application field and working principles of the 61K100-060 encoder.

Application Field

The 61K100-060 is a high performance optical rotary encoder designed for use in automation and control applications. It has a wide range of applications, including motor control, positioning equipment, robots and other devices.The encoder has an output range of 0 to 6,000 lines per revolution (3,000 lines per revolution for SSI) and is capable of up to 200 revolutions per second. It features a compact design, a rugged stainless steel housing, and a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. The 61K100-060 is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments and in high-vibration applications.

Working Principle

The 61K100-060 encoder is based on a optical proximity technology. It uses a permanent magnet and optical holograms to detect motion or position. The encoder is designed with two optical sources and two photodiodes. The magnetic pick-up generates pulses to excite the dual optical sources on the rotating shaft of the encoder.The photodiodes detect the pulses from the optical sources, which generate electrical signals that are transmitted to identify the position and speed of the rotating shaft.Two outputs are available from the 61K100-060 encoder – an incremental output and a commutation output. The incremental output generates a square wave signal with a frequency that is proportional to the speed of the encoder. The commutation output is used to provide the necessary electrical signals for motor commutation. This output also provides a signal that can be used to detect position and speed.

Conclusion

The 61K100-060 encoder is a versatile and reliable device that is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is based on a optical proximity technology, with two optical sources and two photodiodes, which detect the motion or position and generate the necessary electrical signals for motor control, positioning equipment, robots and other applications. The encoder also features a rugged stainless steel housing and a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
