AEDL-5810-Z12 working principle

The AEDL-5810-Z12 is an incremental rotary single optical encoder. It utilizes two components: a sensing head and a glass disk. The glass disk is marked with an array of hole patterns, which are divided into several interlocking parts. The sensing head is divided into two parts: an emitter and a receiver. As the glass disk rotates, the light emitted by the emitter passes through the pattern on the disk and is received by the receiver. The receiver is an analog to digital converter, and it converts the light signals into an encoded digital signal.

As the wheel rotates, it will generate a specific number of "pulses" or "counts" per revolution. As the number of counts change, the signal from the receiver will be converted to a digital value. This digital value is used to determine the speed and direction of the motor or the position of the device the AEDL-5810-Z12 is connected to. The AEDL-5810-Z12 can detect a maximum speed of 6000 rpm and has an accuracy of 0.02°.

Conclusion

The AEDL-5810-Z12 is an optical encoder designed for precise speed and position measurement applications. Its simple installation and operation, low power consumption, and high accuracy make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. Its wide range of applications, such as motor speed measurement, robotic position detection, and high accuracy position control, demonstrate its versatility and usefulness.
