HRPG-AS32#14C

HRPG-AS32#14C is an absolute type encoder manufactured by Hohner Automation S.R.L. It is widely used in various industries, especially in measurement and controlling systems. The HRPG-AS32#14C encoder has a wide range of applications due to its high accuracy, reliability and cost-effectiveness. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of this type of encoder.

Application Field

HRPG-AS32#14C is a type of absolute encoder used in a variety of applications where speed, position, and/or angle must be measured or monitored. Some of the fields where this type of encoder is used are robotics, automation, material handling, aerospace, and marine. Additionally, this type of encoder is often used in the field of cadence measurement for industrial machinery.

This type of encoder is particularly suitable for high-accuracy speed and position measurement applications. The accuracy of the HRPG-AS32#14C encoder is +/– 0.02°. This accuracy allows the measurement of very accurate velocity or position measurements, both in terms of speed and in terms of position. This accuracy is obtained by the use of the high-resolution multi-turn Absolute Encoder technology.

Working Principle

The HRPG-AS32#14C absolute encoder is based on the optical principle of encoding. This type of encoder uses light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photodetectors to encode the angular position of a rotating shaft. The optical encoding principle is based on a combination of an LED and a photodetector being arranged opposite each other, with the rotation shaft in-between the two. As the rotation shaft rotates, the light emitted by the LED is intercepted and a correspond number of pulses is generated by the photodetector.

The HRPG-AS32#14C encoder uses two LEDs and two photodetectors arranged at 90° from each other on the encoder shaft. Each LED will produce two pulses that are 90° apart and each photodetector will detect both pulses. By using the two photodetectors and the two resulting distinct pulse patterns, the angular position of the shaft is determined.

The HRPG-AS32#14C encoder is capable of multi-turn operation, which provides greater accuracy and higher resolution. This multi-turn capability is achieved by using a rotating disk with stripes on it. When the encoder shaft rotates, the rotating disk will advance the stripes in relation to the LEDs and photodetectors. The multi-turn technology used by the HRPG-AS32#14C is capable of measuring up to 32 revolutions of the shaft.

Conclusion

The HRPG-AS32#14C encoder is an absolute type encoder that is widely used in various industries, particularly for measurement and controlling applications. The encoder is based on the optical principle of encoding and uses LEDs and photodetectors to encode the angular position of a rotating shaft. Additionally, this type of encoder uses multi-turn technology to provide higher accuracy and resolution. This makes the HRPG-AS32#14C an ideal choice for precision measurement or monitoring applications.
