Encoders

Encoders are sensing and control devices used in a variety of automation applications. They use positional information to provide feedback from a motor, actuator, or gear when used to monitor motion, velocity, or positioning systems. There are two main types: rotary encoders and linear encoders. Rotary encoders measure angular displacement and linear encoders measure linear distance.

How the 62D11-01-120S Rotary Encoder Works

The 62D11-01-120S rotary encoder works by measuring the rotation of a shaft or other moving part. The device consists of four components: a stator, rotor, light source, and photosensor. The stator is a stationary component that houses the rotor, light source, and photosensor. The rotor is mounted on the shaft and rotates when the shaft moves. The light source and photosensor detect changes in the rotation of the rotor. As the rotor passes a light source and photosensor, the optical-mechanical coupling technology sends out pulses, which are counted whenever the device makes a full revolution.

Conclusion

The 62D11-01-120S rotary encoder is a reliable, easy-to-install device used in many industrial applications. It offers high accuracy and resolution, as well as a wide operating voltage range. Its metal housing ensures a reliable connection even in harsh environmental conditions. As a result, the 62D11-01-120S is an ideal solution for precise motion control, timing, and positioning applications.
