Encoder technology has evolved greatly in recent years. Advances in design, materials and quality assurance procedures have allowed for amazing results in precision measurement applications. This is especially true in the field of rotary encoders, where extremely accurate positional feedback mechanisms are critical in order to get the best out of automation systems. The 62S18-M5-020C is a fine example of such a rotary encoder, providing a unique combination of features that make it ideal for many types of applications.

The 62S18-M5-020C is a modular rotary optical encoder that has 18 bit multi-turn resolution. The total travel range for the encoder is up to 3600° and is enough for most precision measurement needs. It has a variety of features that make it useful, including quadrature, Z index, and line driver output capabilities. The line driver output feature allows for easy integration with several types of automation systems including PLCs, motion controllers, and PC-based controllers.

The encoder also has some great environmental protection features. It is rated to operate in temperatures ranging from -13°F to 158°F, and is sealed to IP67 with an optional water submersion shield. This makes it suitable for use in applications exposed to extreme temperatures and moisture. The construction also employs specialized materials designed for high strength and long-term reliability. These include components made of stainless steel or composite polyurethane.

The core of the encoder’s operation lies in its optical encoder wheel and sensor assembly. The encoder wheel has a unique pattern of equally spaced slits cut into it which are read by a quadrature optical sensor. Whenever the wheel rotates, the sensor registers each slit as it passes and generates an electrical pulse for each movement that is then sent to the controller. Depending on the software used, the controller then translates the pulses from the encoder into an angular position measurement which is then used to drive the machine’s movement.

The great accuracy of the 62S18-M5-020C is due to its ability to measure and repeat the same position with precision accuracy, which makes it ideal for applications where accuracy and repeatability are essential. Examples of such application include machine tools, and robotic arms. The modular construction of the encoder also makes it much easier to install and maintain, since it can be easily connected to its associated controller with commonly available connectors.

The 62S18-M5-020C encoder offers an impressive combination of features and precision measurement capabilities, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications. Its modular construction and environmental protection features make it easy to install and maintain, while its optical encoder wheel and sensor assembly provide unprecedented accuracy and repeatability. The encoder is thus perfect for any precision measurement or control application where accuracy and reliability are essential.
