Encoders play an important part in automation due to their ability to provide feedback regarding the position of a shaft or other device. In this article, we\'ll be looking at the E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M encoder and its application field and working principle.

What is an Encoder?

An encoder is an electromechanical device, capable of sensing the position of a rotating shaft or other mechanical input device, and converting that position into a digital or analog output signal. This signal can be used for a variety of purposes, such as feedback control of robotic systems, velocity measurement, and position determination.

Types of Encoders

Encoders come in a variety of types, such as incremental, absolute, and commutation encoders. The E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M encoder is an incremental encoder, which means it outputs a series of pulses that are proportional to the shaft’s rotation. Incremental encoders are often used in applications where precise shaft position feedback is required.

E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M Encoder

The E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M encoder is an incremental encoder produced by Omron Corporation. It has a rotating shaft which is connected to a shaft end-face. The shaft end-face has two concentric circular surfaces. The outer surface is divided into 400 equal sectors. The inner surface is divided into 10 equal sectors. The two surfaces are each connected to two photointerrupter units, which detect changes in the surface pattern.

Application Field and Working Principle

The E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M encoder is ideal for use in applications requiring precise measurement of rotational displacement, such as industrial robots and precision equipment. When the encoder’s rotating shaft is turned, the two concentric circular surfaces which are connected to the two optical interrupt units rotate as well. As the surfaces rotate, the two interrupt units detect changes in the surface pattern and output a signal. The number of pulses output by the two interrupts multiplied by 5 gives the precise angle of the rotating shaft. The precision of the E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M encoder is ±1‰.

Conclusion

The E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M encoder is an incremental encoder, designed for applications where precise rotational displacement measurement is required. Its working principle is based on the detection of changes in two concentric circular surface patterns, connected to two optical interrupt units. The precision of the encoder is ±1‰. The E6B2-CWZ6C-10 400P/R 5M encoder is widely used in industrial robots and precision equipment.
