DBS36E-S3AK00500

Encoder technology is a broad application field in the industrial world, and is used in a variety of applications from automation and manufacturing to ensuring reliable communication over the vast reaches of our planet. DBS36E-S3AK00500 is just one example of many in the encoder field; but, before incorporating it into an application, it is important to understand how it works and what it can do.

DBS36E-S3AK00500 is an absolute encoder, meaning it is an encoder that outputs position information and incorporates an internal absolute memory. This memory stores and references a unique digital code for each and every position within the total range. This code can be accessed and compared with the code generated by any mechanical change in the rotated device.

In this way, DBS36E-S3AK00500 can detect the absolute angular position of any device, without the need for any prior reference value or mechanical homing. This is the same as the incremental type encoder, but from this point totally different. The incremental encoder generates the information of position only relative to a known point, which needs to be found each time when turning the device “on”.

To prevent errors during operation, operation accuracy is one of the prime factors for absolute type encoders. To ensure accuracy and reliability during operation, DBS36E-S3AK00500 features a high resolution of 36 bits, divided into input and output phases, resulting in a resolution of 0.12 milliradian. This high resolution is then paired to an improved torque performance of up to 44 Nm, which enables this encoder to be used in demanding applications. Additionally, its 500 kHz output frequency ensures fast position measurements and feedback without unwanted noise.

The combination of digital signal processing and the high resolution make DBS36E-S3AK00500 suitable for a wide range of applications and industries, including packaging machinery, automated and robotic assembly systems, automatic guided vehicles, pickup and delivery machines, and motor control systems. In particular, it can be used in applications such as conveyors, linear tracking, monitoring and alignment systems, 3D scanning systems, and automated industrial manufacturing plants.

To illustrate how it works, DBS36E-S3AK00500 starts by receiving an input from a power source. This input is then processed and converted into an analog signal that is relayed to the internal electronics within the encoder. The electronics then samples this analog signal, breaking it apart into high to low voltage values. These values are then converted into a series of digital bits representing a single code.

This digital code is then transmitted back out to the power source or any other connected systems. The power source uses this code as a reference point to determine the exact position of the device being controlled. This code is then recorded in the memory of the DBS36E-S3AK00500 encoder, and can be used as a reference point for future applications.

In comparison to other encoders, the DBS36E-S3AK00500 is known for its reliability and accuracy. Its high resolution and powerful torque performance makes it a great choice for a variety of industrial applications. With its absolute type design, the DBS36E-S3AK00500 can accurately monitor devices without the need for a reference point, ensuring precise measurements and feedback.
