Encoders are electromechanical devices that measure linear or rotary motion, speed, and position, and convert them into electrical signals. The most common form of encoder is an incremental rotary encoder, commonly referred to as the “rotary encoder”. The 62AG22-L5-020C encoder is an example of this type of encoder, and its application field and working principle are described below.

Application field

The 62AG22-L5-020C encoder is an excellent choice for motor control applications due to its small size and low cost. This encoder is optimized for high-speed operations up to 5kHz, and is designed to measure angular displacement with high accuracy over short distances. It is also suitable for applications that require precise angular measurements of up to 0.5°. In addition, it can be used in combination with a rotary servo motor to control the speed and position of the motor.

Working Principle

In the 62AG22-L5-020C, the rotating shaft is connected to a disc that has specialized slots which are scanned by infrared emitting and receiving diodes. As the disc rotates, the slots and diodes work together to generate a pulse signal. This pulse signal is then processed by an on-board microprocessor to determine the angular position and speed of the rotating shaft. The encoder is designed to output two signals simultaneously - one is the position signal, and the other is the speed signal which is generated by counting the pulses from the position signal. The position and speed signals can then be used to control the motor.

Conclusion

The 62AG22-L5-020C encoder is a cost-effective and reliable choice for motor control applications. Its small size and high accuracy make it well suited for applications that require precise position or speed measurements. It is also capable of measuring angular displacement over a short distance with high accuracy. With its two signals, the position and speed of the motor can be accurately controlled.
