61S64-2 Encoders

Application Field
61S64-2 encoders are used for a variety of applications in the manufacturing and industrial automation industries, including motion monitoring, measuring linear and rotational speeds, determining the number of revolutions, and controlling position. The main applications include robotics, CNC, 3D printing equipment, automated assembly and packing lines, motor controllers, HVAC, printing presses, and industrial cranes.

Working Principle
61S64-2 encoders are designed to detect changes in speed, direction, and position. They do this by sensing the number of pulses or edges that are produced when the encoder rotor shaft passes the sensing elements. The pulses are then converted to an electrical signal, which is then output as a digital signal.

The basic working principle of the 61S64-2 encoder is as follows: when the encoder rotor is rotated, its magnetic field passes through a sensing element such as a Hall effect or optical sensor. This generates an electrical signal, which is processed by the encoder\'s electronic circuitry and converted into a digital signal. The encoder then outputs this digital signal, which can be interpreted by the connected system to determine the position and direction of the encoder rotor.

The 61S64-2 encoder is a non-contact design, thus eliminating the need for mechanical contact between the encoder and the device it is measuring. This makes it a more reliable choice for measuring motions in potentially hostile or hazardous environments. Additionally, it has a relatively high degree of accuracy, with resolutions of up to 16-bit.
