EN12-HN10AF18 Encoders: Application field and Working Principles

Encoders are devices used to accurately measure position and speed, they are commonly used in robotics, automation, process control and motion control applications. EN12-HN10AF18 encoders are one such encoder model in the industry. This article will provide an introduction to the application field and working principles of EN12-HN10AF18 encoders.

Application Field of EN12-HN10AF18 Encoders

EN12-HN10AF18 encoders are used in a variety of industrial applications. These encoders are suitable for medium-speed and medium-load applications. They are commonly used to measure linear, angular, rotary, and rectilinear displacements. The encoder allows small motors and mechanical elements to be accurately monitored during the production process, as well as providing a signal feedback to control systems.

The EN12-HN10AF18 encoder is ideal for applications in parts sorting, automotive stamping and paint process control, robotic arms, machine tool building, monitoring conveyor belts, chemical processing plant automation, and printing machinery.

Working Principles of EN12-HN10AF18 Encoders

The EN12-HN10AF18 encoders use a photoelectric scanning mechanism to measure movement. The encoder is designed to be mounted to a motor shaft or other element, and is linked to a light source. As the motor shaft or element moves, the light source is reflected off a pattern of teeth on a code wheel, creating a ‘1’ or ‘0’ signal. By measuring how many signals are sent, it is then possible to determine the rotation, position and speed of the component.

The EN12-HN10AF18 encoder incorporates a state-of-the-art signal processing system. This system continuously monitors signals for accuracy and responds to changes in speed, vibration, or application conditions quickly. The signal processor also includes phase discrimination technology to ensure accurate working even at high speed.

The total encoder system consists of the encoder, the signal processor, and the communication/control interface module. This system is compact and designed to be integrated into any machinery, allowing for a range of applications.

Conclusion

EN12-HN10AF18 encoders are highly versatile devices used in a range of industrial applications. They are suitable for medium-speed and medium-load applications, and are designed for accurate measurement of linear, angular, rotary, and rectilinear displacements. The sophisticated signal processing system ensures accuracy of measurements even under changing speed or vibration conditions.
