Encoders: E6B2-CWZ6C-1 200P/R

An encoder is a type of transducer, a device that converts one type of energy into another. Encoders are used to measure angular velocity, speed, relative position, and for determining the direction of rotation. The E6B2-CWZ6C-1 200P/R encoder is a digital incremental rotary encoder that employs a multiplexed output for use in machine automation.

Application Field

The E6B2-CWZ6C-1 200P/R is used in various applications, including automation, robotics, machine vision systems, and production line systems. This encoder is especially suited for applications that require frequent direction reversing, such as conveyor systems, cranes, and other motion control applications. It is also commonly employed in medical imaging systems and automated assembly lines.

Working Principle

The E6B2-CWZ6C-1 200P/R encoder uses a quadrature disc to measure the rotation of an object. The quadrature disc is composed of two concentric discs with alternate patterns of projections and recesses on each side. As the disc rotates, the alternating patterns of projections and recesses pass over two optical sensors, producing a pulse signal with a frequency proportional to the rotational speed of the object. A digital signal is then output that is proportional to the rotational speed, angle position, and direction of rotation.

Conclusion

The E6B2-CWZ6C-1 200P/R encoder is a digital incremental rotary encoder that converts the angular velocity, speed, and direction of rotation into a digital signal. This encoder is used in applications such as machine automation, medical imaging systems, robotics, and production line systems, and is especially suited for applications that require frequent direction changes. This encoder uses a quadrature disc to measure rotation and outputs a digital signal that is proportional to the rotational speed, angle position, and direction of rotation.
