AEDC-5550-W13

Encoders

An encoder is an electromechanical device that can measure motion or position. It has a wide range of industrial applications, such as in robotics, automation, machine vision, and in the production of precision parts. The AEDC-5550-W13 is a single-turn absolute encoder, which means it records the absolute angular position of a shaft or an object with respect to a reference point. It provides a digital output that is proportional to the angular position of the shaft.

AEDC-5550-W13 Application Fields

The AEDC-5550-W13 is a reliable, cost-effective encoder that is suitable for a broad range of applications, such as in robotics, automation, and machine vision. It is ideal for use in motors, pumps, valves, and geared assemblies that require precise angular position sensing. Additionally, it is capable of accurately determining the absolute position of an object in three-dimensional space.

Working Principle

The AEDC-5550-W13 works by sensing the rotation of a shaft or an object using an internal optical system. The internal light source reflects off a series of quadrants that are evenly spaced around the circumference of the shaft. As the shaft rotates, the light registers the different configurations of the quadrants, which are then converted into a digital output signal that indicates the absolute position of the shaft.

The AEDC-5550-W13 has an accuracy rating of ±0.035° and is designed to operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures. It is available in a number of housing options and can be configured to interface with a variety of compatible systems and devices. It also offers reliable performance, long life, and cost-effectiveness.
