Encoders

Encoders are devices used to measure position, velocity, and other physical properties of objects. They are typically found in industrial machinery, automotive applications, robotics, medical equipment, and many other applications requiring precise measurement. The 63RS64-180 is a type of incremental rotary encoder, designed to provide digital output for input signals from a rotating shaft.

63RS64-180 Application Field and Working Principle

The 63RS64-180 is a rotary encoder with 12-bit resolution, meaning it divides each full revolution into 4096 steps (2¹²). Its compact size and wide operating temperature range from -30 to 85 °C make it ideal for applications in harsh environments, such as those found in many industrial and factory settings. It features IP67 protection, with an aluminum die-cast housing and a mounting hole for easy installation.

The 63RS64-180 works by using light and dark zones printed on a metal disc to produce two output signals, A and B, which are 90° out of phase with each other. As the shaft of the encoder rotates, the disc turns, splitting the light of an LED to the output photo transistors, one for each signal. The signals are then conditioned and encoded into a digital output.

The encoder\'s resolution is determined by the number of equal portions (pulses) that make up the entire cycle or revolution of the disc. For the 63RS64-180, this number is 4096. This means that the device can detect 4096 increments of rotation across a full revolution, providing a much higher resolution than a standard mechanical switch. The encoder also has an index channel, which provides an absolute reference point to keep track of the position of the rotor in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.

The 63RS64-180 can be used in a range of applications, from positioning systems and motion control systems to robotics and automotive applications. For example, it can be used to measure the rotation of a steering wheel in an automobile or the velocity of an industrial robot. It is also useful in the medical field, where high accuracy and resolution are required for diagnostic imaging instruments.

Conclusion

The 63RS64-180 is a robust, reliable incremental rotary encoder with 12-bit resolution and a wide operating temperature range, suitable for many industrial and automotive applications. Its features of IP67 protection and a mounting hole make it easy to install in a variety of environments, while its high resolution and an index channel ensure precise measurement.
