AEDM-5810-T12

Encoders are electronic components used to measure angular displacement. They find applications in a variety of fields, such as robotics, machine vision, and automation. One such encoder is the AEDM-5810-T12. This encoder is a self-contained device that combines an industry-standard motor shaft or binary output encoder with an optical measuring system. It is capable of providing a reliable and accurate positional feedback with single-turn resolution of 360° in 12 bit format. Encoders of this type are commonly found in industrial applications that require highly precise, repeatable angular measurements.

AEDM-5810-T12 encoders are made up of two main parts. The first is the optical disc, which is mounted on the motor shaft or other angular position, converting linear motion into angular rotation by detecting markings on the disc. The optical disc is a transparent disc with reflective markings positioned around the circumference according to a predefined rotational law. Each marking is then read by the optical sensor installed inside the housing of the encoder. The second part is the digital signal converter, which converts the optical signal into a digital output.

In operation, the system is powered by an external 5V DC power source, and the encoder’s output is connected to the power source. The optical disc is then mounted onto the motor shaft, and the disc is monitored by the optical sensor. Every time a marking on the optical disc is detected, a series of data points is read, which is then converted to electrical pulses. These pulses are then sent to the digital output channel where the signal is processed and converted into a digital signal.

The digital signal is fed into the control system, which reads the angular displacement of the motor shaft in real-time and recycles the data for further statistical analysis. This capability provides a significant advantage over conventional encoders, as the system can provide feedback on the motor’s displacement in real-time with very high accuracy. As a result, the system can be used to control sophisticated and accurate machine designs where angular displacement is a critical factor.

AEDM-5810-T12 encoders are considered one of the most reliable and accurate encoders available in the market today. Their high accuracy and repeatability, combined with their wide operating temperature range, make them ideal for use in high-precision, highly automated applications. As a result, these encoders can be found in many different industries, from machine vision to robotics, and from medical to industrial automation.
