Encoders are tools used in the device and motors to achieve precise control of speed, position and acceleration.

An encoder is a device used to detect the rotation, speed or direction of the motor and convert the mechanical movement into a digital signal. Depending on the type and function, encoders can be classified into rotary encoders, linear encoders and incremental encoders. The 62F22-02-125C-L encoder is Linear encoder with absolute positioning and its application field and working principle will be discussed in this article.

Application Field of 62F22-02-125C-L encoder

62F22-02-125C-L absolute linear encoder is good at linear motion control which involves processes like pick & place, positioning, compression, tension, or guidance of a product along a line. This encoder works best with products such as winders, loaders, packaging platforms, presses, welding machines, tyre manufacturing, and extrusion machines. It can also work well with assembly and robotic applications.

Working Principle of 62F22-02-125C-L encoder

The working principle of 62F22-02-125C-L encoder is based on the principle of incremental encoder. The encoder consists of two components: a light source and a light sensor. The movement of the motor shaft causes the light source to move along the encoder strip and the change in the light intensity is detected by the light sensor. The relative position and/or speed is then calculated from the output of the sensor. The data is converted into digital form suitable for processing by the host.

The absolute position of 62F22-02-125C-L linear encoder is determined by detecting the position of the light source relative to the position of the light sensor. This type of encoder has a high accuracy and repeatability due to its absolute positioning. The light source remains in the same position with respect to the light sensor even after power interruption so the exact position of the shaft can be determined at any time.

Conclusion

Like any other encoder, the 62F22-02-125C-L absolute linear encoder can be used to measure speed, direction, and position. However, due to its absolute positioning ability, this encoder provides higher accuracy and repeatability performance which makes it suitable for applications requiring precise position detection.
