Encoders

An encoder is a device that translates information from one format to another. In the case of industrial automation, encoders are used to provide feedback about the position of actuators, for example robotic arms. The encoder is used to compare the current position of the actuator with the target position, helping to maintain accuracy and enabling the actuator to complete its task to a specified degree of accuracy. In this article, we will discuss the 62B22-SPP-120S encoder and its applications, as well as its working principle.

62B22-SPP-120S Applications

The 62B22-SPP-120S is a non-contact encoder, which is ideal for use in applications that require high speed measurement or monitoring within a clean environment. Some common applications of this encoder include:

• Angular position measurement in robotics and automation systems.
• Linear motion measurement.
• Vibration monitoring and control.
• Medical apparatus.
• Machine vision systems.

The 62B22-SPP-120S is also suitable for general, automated control systems, such as industrial indexers, where it can track and measure the position of components.

62B22-SPP-120S Working Principle

The working principle of the 62B22-SPP-120S can be broken down into two main components. The first component is the sensing element, which is a set of magnetic vanes that are fixed to the rotating shaft of the encoder. As the vanes rotate, they pass by a stationary magnetic sensor, which generates analog pulses. These pulses are converted into digital signals by the encoder’s signal processor. The signal processor then calculates the position of the shaft based on the number of pulses and sends the information to the control system.

The other component is the output, which is a set of electrical contacts that can be used to control external devices, such as contactors or relays. This allows the 62B22-SPP-120S to be used in a wide range of applications, including general position measurement, velocity monitoring and control, as well as automated material handling systems.

Conclusion

The 62B22-SPP-120S encoder is a versatile and reliable device that can be used in a wide range of industrial and robotic applications where precise angular and linear measurements are required. Its non-contact sensing and output methods ensure a high degree of accuracy and reliability and make it an ideal choice for industrial automation systems.
