Encoders

An encoder is an electromechanical device for detecting and converting the motion of an object in the form of digital data. The 62V11-01-020C is a versatile, high resolution, incremental encoder designed for precision motion control applications. It provides accurate feedback on the direction and speed of a rotating shaft.

Application Field

This encoder is commonly used in applications that require precise positional information. It is commonly used in robotic systems for precise motion control, machine vision systems, automation process control, vehicle speed and direction control, servo motor control, home automation systems, and many other applications. It is also used in aerospace and medical applications.

Working Principle

The 62V11-01-020C encoder operates on the principle of incremental encoding. An incremental encoder measures the relative motion of a shaft by generating a series of electrical pulses which are proportional to the speed and direction of the shaft rotation. This encoder uses two signal discs, the first is a single magnetic disc and the second is a multi-pole, multi-track disc of alternating North and South pole orientation. The first disc is positioned on the motor shaft while the second is held stationary by the encoder housing. When the motor shaft rotates, the magnetic field of the stationary disc interacts magnetically with the poles of the rotating disc. This interaction generates a series of pulses that are counts of the number of times the magnetic field changes from North to South. This count can be used to accurately measure the angular velocity and direction of the rotating shaft.
