Working Principle of HRPG-AS32#13R Optical Encoders

The HRPG-AS32#13R is an incremental rotary optical encoder composed of a light-emitting diode (LED) located on the front side and the photo detector at the rear. It has a single-turn, 1024 pulses per revolution output and can provide 24-bit resolution.

The LED emits light onto the transparent code wheel. The code wheel has a pattern with alternating transparent and opaque lines. As the code wheel turns, the LEDs light will alternate between strong and very weak. The detector senses the alternation of light and darkness on the code wheel and converts this to electrical pulses. These pulses serve as the output signal.

The pulse rate of the encoder can be combined with microprocessor time measurements to determine position, speed, and direction. This communication is almost instantaneous and critical adjustments can be made with remarkable accuracy.

Conclusion

The HRPG-AS32#13R is a highly reliable and accurate optical encoder used for a variety of applications. Its ability to accurately detect position, speed, and direction make it a valuable tool for many industries. Encoders are an essential part of most modern day machines and equipment and the HRPG-AS32#13R is no exception.
