Encoders

An encoder is a device used to convert electrical signals or digital signals into coded signals. The coded signals can be electrical, optical, or acoustical in nature. The encoded signals are then used to control, monitor, or communicate information. Encoders are widely used in robotics, automation systems, computers, and a variety of other electronic applications.

The DPL12SHN24A25K3 is an optical incremental encoder designed specifically for use in robotics and automation systems. It is constructed of a miniature size with ball bearings for high accuracy, durability and long life. It features a high resolution of 12 bits, providing up to 4,096 counts per revolution. The encoder is capable of operating at speeds up to 30 kRPM as well as temperatures between -30°C and +65°C.

Application Field and Working Principle

The DPL12SHN24A25K3 encoder has a wide variety of applications in the robotics and automation fields. It is used extensively in motion control systems, where the encoded signals are used to control the speed and positioning of motorized parts. It is also used for detection and tracking applications. Here the encoded signals are used to detect changes in the position of an object, such as the number of entire rotation cycles, angle or speed.

The working principle of the DPL12SHN24A25K3 is based on the concept of optical incremental encoding. This type of encoder typically consists of a set of blank and transparent discs that are mounted on a light source, a receiver and a code disc. As the code disc rotates, the light source projects light onto the code disc. The receiver, mounted near the code disc, picks up the light reflected off of the code disc and creates output signals. These output signals are then converted into counted or coded signals, depending on the nature of the application. In some cases, the signals are further converted into binary form for storage or processing.

The DPL12SHN24A25K3 is able to provide high-resolution output signals at high speeds. This makes it ideal for use in applications that require precise speed control or detection of small changes in position or velocity. Additionally, the device is capable of operating in a wide range of temperature ranges, making it suitable for use in a variety of environmental conditions.
