Encoders

An encoder is a device which translates the position or motion of an object into a digital code. The most common type of encoder is rotary, which are used to measure the angle of a rotating shaft. The symbols used to represent an encoder can vary but generally include either a letter (E) or number (Enc) prefix, followed by a symbol for the specific type of encoder, such as + (for incremental) or – (for absolute).

H40A-1024-ABZC-28V/V-SC-S Application Field And Working Principle

H40A-1024-ABZC-28V/V-SC-S is a rotary encoder used to measure the angle of a rotating shaft. It has 1024 pulses per revolution and the input voltage is 28V/V-SC-S. It is mounted directly on the surface of the shaft and it measures pulse signals generated by the rotating disk with 1024 code tracks. The output is an A/B/Z/C quadrature signal. The A/B/Z/C signals measure the rotary position of the device.

The A-B phase sequence of the H40A-1024-ABZC-28V/V-SC-S is AB AB AB. For every revolution, there will be 1024 position counting, and the minimum interval is 360/1024, which is 0.35 degree. It operates in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions with direction recognition.

The encoder is widely used in various motion control and positioning control systems. It is mainly used in monitoring systems, medical equipment, industrial robots, and field inspection. It can also be used in assembly lines, water treatment plants, cargo sorting systems, and other occasions.

The H40A-1024-ABZC-28V/V-SC-S is one of the most popular kinds of rotary encoders on the market. It is highly reliable, durable and easy to install. It is made with all-metal construction and the working temperature range is -20~+85 degree celcius. It is provided with automatic ID code setting which allows it to be used with various types of motors. It also has an internal zero-point memory function, a damping potentiometer for adjusting the speed of the output, and a lockout key function in order to avoid wrong operations.

The encoder has a simple working principle: the rotating disk has a code track with 1024 slots and two silver plates which are connected to the A/B signal output of the encoder. When the rotating shaft rotates, the slots on the code track alternately block and release light, causing the silver plates to continuously output the A/B signals with high frequency. When the A/B signals of the two silver plates are combined, the encoder outputs a quadrature signal, which can control the direction and position of the motor.
