Encoders are devices that measure displacement or speed using an internal structure that converts rotary or linear motion into electronic signals. The HEDS-5500#E06 is an optical rotary encoder that is commonly used in applications requiring a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the HEDS-5500#E06.

Application Field

The HEDS-5500#E06 is an optical rotary encoder with an incremental output. This feature makes it suitable for applications that require fast positioning, high-resolution counting, and non-contact detection. It is a popular choice in fields such as robotics, aerospace, automotive, and industrial automation. Additionally, its small size is suitable for embedded applications.

The encoder also features a quadrature output, which can be used to provide precise position and speed measurements. This feature allows for precise control in applications such as servo systems, motor controllers, and conveyor belt systems. Additionally, the output can be used to drive an analog gauge, providing real-time feedback of the system\'s performance.

Lastly, the encoder is protected by both IP50 and IP67 dust-proof and waterproof ratings. This ensures that the device is protected from dust, moisture, and other environmental factors.

Working Principle

The HEDS-5500#E06 encodes rotary motion using a glass disk and two light sensors. The glass disk is etched with evenly-spaced radial slots, which interrupt a beam of light that is transmitted across it. The interruption of the light is detected by the two light sensors, which are mounted opposite each other on the encoder housing. As the glass disk rotates, the light pattern is disrupted in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, depending on the direction of rotation.

The alternating light pattern is converted into a signal by the two light sensors. This signal is processed by a signal processor and converted into an output. The output will depend on the type of signal that is set. If it is set as an incremental signal, the output will be in the form of a pulse, with each complete rotation of the glass disk resulting in a predetermined number of pulses. For a quadrature output, the output will be in the form of alternating pulses in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

Conclusion

The HEDS-5500#E06 is an optical rotary encoder that is suitable for a variety of applications. It features an incremental and quadrature output, as well as dust-proof and waterproof ratings that make it ideal for embedded systems. Its glass disk and light sensor system are used to convert rotary motion into an electronic output.
