Encoders

Encoders are components used to monitor the motion of a mechanical or electrical object. An encoder typically consists of a collection of sensors, metal discs, switches, and other mechanisms that monitor the motion of an object and convert it into an electrical signal. The output of the encoder can be an analog voltage, a frequency, a pulse width modulation (PWM), or a pulse-code modulation (PCM).

62S15-N0-020S application field and working principle

The 62S15-N0-020S rotary encoder is a multi-turn type of encoder and is a commonly used encoder in industrial motion control applications requiring high accuracy and reliability. The 62S15-N0-020S encoder is characterized by a number of features that make it a versatile solution for various motion control tasks.

The 62S15-N0-020S encoder is designed for use in controlling DC motors, servo systems, and other industrial applications that require rotary positioning. The encoder is composed of two photoelectric sensors, each consisting of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodiode. The LED and photodiode are arranged such that they face each other within the distance of a few millimeters. As the encoder is rotated, the relative positions of the LED and photodiode change, causing changes in the amplitude of the light and the variation in the photodiode output.

The output of the 62S15-N0-020S is an absolute position signal, meaning that it is independent of power cycling. This feature makes the encoder an extremely reliable and efficient solution for any applications requiring high accuracy and reliability. The 62S15-N0-020S also has a rotary resolution of 15 bits, which gives it a high level of accuracy. The encoder’s 15-bit resolution makes it suitable for use in applications that require the encoder to ascertain a certain rotary position with highly accuracy and reliability. The encoder also has a 24-bit resolution when combined with an external counter.

The 62S15-N0-020S can be used in a variety of applications, including robotics, automation systems, packaging machinery, and CNC machine tooling. In robotics, the encoder can be used to provide precise rotary control for robot arms and other robotic systems. In automation systems, the encoder can be used to accurately monitor the position of various actuators and other components. In packaging machinery, the encoder can be used to keep track of product location and orientation. In CNC machine tooling, the encoder can be used to accurately position the machine’s position in several axes.

The 62S15-N0-020S encoder is a versatile, reliable, and accurate solution for a range of motion control and automation applications. With its 15-bit resolution and absolute position output, the encoder can achieve highly accurate motion control. Moreover, the encoder’s ability to work with an external counter gives it an even higher level of accuracy.
