DP11HN15B25K Working Principle

The DP11HN15B25K is based on the principle of optical encoding. An optical encoder disk contains a series of coded patterns which are interpreted by a reflective sensor. This coding pattern is typically binary, or a series of ones and zeroes. The reflective sensor in the encoder measures the presence of these codes, thus allowing for the measurement of linear or rotational distances.

In the DP11HN15B25K, this optomechanical sensing system is designed to provide precise linear measurements for a variety of industrial applications. The system consists of an optomechanical module consisting of a mechanical sensing element and an optical disk. Inside the optomechanical module, light produced by a laser diode is diffracted and then detected by a photo-detector. By using an array of optical elements like lenses and filters, the light beam is first focused and then dispersed, allowing for the detection of the optomechanical module. The presence of codes on the optical disk is converted into electrical signals by the photo-detector, and these signals can be interpreted to provide a linear measurement.

Conclusion

The DP11HN15B25K optical encoder provides a reliable solution for measuring linear motion in a range of industrial, aerospace, medical, and automotive applications. It is a single-ended design that uses a laser diode, photo-detector, and optical encoder disk to achieve precise linear measurements. The optomechanical system works by diffracting and detecting light beams to convert codes into electrical signals, which can be interpreted to measure linear distances.
