Encoders

An encoder is an electromechanical device that uses code electronic pulses to communicate information from one device to another. Encoders are commonly used in robotics and other areas where information is transferred in digital form. One of the most common types of encoders is the 62B22-LPP-025C, which is effectively a wall mounted, bi-directional rotary encoder.

Application Field

The 62B22-LPP-025C can be used to measure angular displacement, detect speeding up and slowing down, and to recognize direction of rotation. These kinds of encoders can be used in applications such as automotive industry, health care, IT industry, and manufacturing. In particular, they are often used in robotics and prosthetics.

Working Principle

The 62B22-LPP-025C uses a single-board design and is powered by two AAA batteries. It has an infrared transceiver that is used to detect the rotation angle of an object. This is done by reading the reflection of the infrared beam from the object’s surface. A processor then converts the angle into a digital signal and transmits it back to its source.

The encoder also has a built-in counter that measures the number of rotations of the object. This counter can then be used to determine the speed of the object and the direction of rotation. The encoder also has a power switch, which allows it to turn off automatically when not in use, thereby saving battery power.

Conclusion

The 62B22-LPP-025C is a bi-directional rotary encoder and is widely used in robotics and prosthetics applications. It uses an infrared transceiver to detect the angle of an object, and a processor to convert the angle into a digital signal. It also has a built-in counter to measure the number of rotations and a power switch for power savings.
