What are encoders? Encoders are digital transducers that are able to detect positional information within machinery and components. They are able to provide feedback and control data to other components in an industrial automation system. The 62A11-02-100C encoder is a member of the family of incremental encoders that are used for positioning applications. In this article, we will discuss the applications and working principle of the 62A11-02-100C.

Application Field

The 62A11-02-100C is a high resolution incremental encoder designed to perform in harsh and hostile environments. This type of encoder is most commonly used in motor feedback applications. It is used for precision control in industrial machinery such as industrial robots, machine tools, 3D printers, and automated assembly systems. Other applications include medical and semiconductor equipment, material handling systems, and any other application in which precise motor control is needed.

Working Principle

The 62A11-02-100C uses a two-channel optical incremental encoding system. It is powered by 5V DC and can be connected in both common power and sensor supply systems. The encoder has an optical disk that contains 20 opaque divisions and 20 transparent divisions. As the encoder rotates, a light source is periodically blocked by the opaque divisions as it passes over them. When the light source is blocked by an opaque division, a pulse is transmitted and received by a photoelectric receiver. The photoreceiver processes the pulse and sends the signal to the encoder’s control unit. The control unit then processes the signal and sends out a positional information to connected components.

The 62A11-02-100C encoder is able to measure rotational speed and position with high accuracy, up to a resolution of 200 counts per revolution. It is also able to filter out harmonics in the feedback signal, as well as noise. This makes it an ideal encoder for a variety of motor feedback applications.

Conclusion

The 62A11-02-100C is a high resolution incremental encoder that is used for motor feedback applications. It uses a two-channel optical incremental encoding system that is powered by 5V DC, and it is able to measure rotational speed and position with high accuracy and resolution. It is also able to filter out harmonics and noise in the feedback signal, making it an ideal encoder for a variety of motor feedback applications.
