Encoders

Encoders are commonly used in feedback and motion control systems. They convert mechanical motion into digital pulses that can be read by a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Encoders are often used to determine the position or speed of an object or system in motion. In particular, the AS22-M560-4G12 encoder is a high performance incremental encoder, especially suited for use in most demanding applications.

AS22-M560-4G12

AS22-M560-4G12 is a versatile incremental encoder well suited for most applications requiring reliable and durable motion control solutions. It features a high precision rotary encoder module that generates an incremental position signal with a maximum angular resolution of 0.1 degree. The encoder module is highly resistant to shock and vibration, and its stainless steel construction ensures a longer life span and reliable operation in difficult and demanding conditions.

Application Field

AS22-M560-4G12 encoders are mainly used in applications requiring precise and reliable motion control. Their ability to generate an incremental signal with a high level of accuracy and robustness makes them ideal for use in a wide range of industries such as machine tools, automotive and aerospace, robotics and medical and electro-mechanical systems. They are also used in precision metrology applications such as ultra-fine through hole drilling and precision measuring applications.

Working Principle

The AS22-M560-4G12 encoder works in a simple and straightforward fashion. It consists of a series of electrodes mounted on a rotating disc. As the disc rotates, each electrode generates an electrical pulse. This pulse is then detected and converted into an analog signal that is sent to the DSP. The DSP then processes the signal to determine the position and speed of the encoder in relation to the output load.

The AS22-M560-4G12 encoder works by generating an incremental signal, meaning it outputs the incremental change in position from the preceding pulse, rather than its absolute position. This is very useful in applications where the exact position is not known, but its speed and direction is important. The encoder also features a low current consumption, which means that it is efficient in terms of both energy and cost.

Conclusion

The AS22-M560-4G12 encoder is a versatile and reliable incremental encoder designed for use in most motion control applications. It features stainless steel construction and a maximum angular resolution of 0.1 degree, making it highly resistant to shock and vibration. Its ability to generate an incremental signal with a high level of accuracy makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, including precision metrology and measuring applications. With its low current consumption, it is also highly efficient in terms of energy and cost.
