Encoders

Encoders are tools used in various applications to measure distance, direction, speed, and other parameters. They are a type of transducer, which translates physical properties into electrical analog signals.

The ACZ11BR4E-20KQD1-12C is a type of rotary encoder used in shaft applications. It is a precision multi-turn encoder, used to measure rotation angles in an opto-mechanical manner.

Application Field

The ACZ11BR4E-20KQD1-12C encoder is mainly used in speed ratiometric feedback systems, which are important in robotics, motion control, positioning systems, automotive, and aerospace industries.

In robotics, speed ratio feedback systems provide stability and accuracy when it comes to creating a response over a certain period of time. In motion control such as arms or legs, motion feedback helps with balance and stability. In positioning systems, feedback helps to accurately guide and maintain a system in its correct position. In the automotive and aerospace industries, feedback systems ensure efficient use of the vehicle by monitoring fuel consumption, speed control, and other factors.

Working Principle

The ACZ11BR4E-20KQD1-12C encoder works using an optical technique to detect rotation. In this technique, an opto-mechanical disk is rotated between a light source and a detector. As the disk rotates, the light emitted by the source is blocked and unblocked by the optical tracks on the disk.

The blocked and unblocked beams generate an alternating voltage signal. The frequency of this signal is directly proportional to the speed of the rotation and the amplitude is proportional to the number of turns in the direction of rotation. The encoder counts and stores the number of turns, and then sends this information, in the form of electrical pulses, to the control system.

By measuring the frequency and number of pulses sent by the encoder, the control system can accurately establish the speed of rotation and the position of the motor shaft. This enables highly precise and accurate feedback control of the system.
