Encoders

An encoder is an electromechanical device that can be used to track the motion and position of an object by generating digital or analog signals. It enables the monitoring of speed and position by encoding the rotational motion or linear movement of a motor shaft, a gearbox output shaft, or any other type of mechanical structure. Encoders are widely used in automotive, robotics, aerospace, medical, and industrial automation and control systems.

62AG11-H5-020C application field and working principle

The 62AG11-H5-020C is an incremental encoder for tracking the motion and position of an object. This encoder can detect rotational speed, direction and the absolute position of the object by monitoring changes in the angular position of its shaft. It is widely used in many automated applications such as motor shafts, gearbox output shafts, or any other type of mechanical equipment needing feedback for its motion and position control.

The 62AG11-H5-020C uses a magnetic sensing element based on the Hall effect to detect the angular position of the shaft. Its incremental output generates a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal proportional to the angular speed, direction, and absolute position of the shaft. These PWM signals are used to determine the motion and position of the object. The 62AG11-H5-020C encoder also has a Start/Stop function, allowing for precise timing at start-up.

The 62AG11-H5-020C also offers excellent temperature stability, high accuracy, and long life expectancy. It has a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +125°C, and can be operated under a wide range of environmental conditions. The 62AG11-H5-020C also offers a range of resolutions, from 256 pulses per revolution (PPR) to 4096 PPR, and up to 12-bit accuracy.

The 62AG11-H5-020C encoder also offers a variety of electrical and mechanical features. It has low power consumption and can operate from an external 5 to 30 VDC supply. The encoder has a ground-referenced, bipolar PWM output with a default frequency of 1 kHz (from 1000hz to 10KerkH). It supports a wide range of mechanical shaft styles, including detented, compliant, and flange mounting for simple installation.

In conclusion, the 62AG11-H5-020C encoder is a robust and reliable solution for tracking the motion and position of objects. Its high accuracy, temperature stability, and a wide operating temperature range make it suitable for use in a variety of industrial and automotive applications. It has a variety of electrical and mechanical features and can be easily installed on any type of shaft.
