Encoders

HS35F-1-14-SS-32-AB-9V/OC-SM18-EX-S application field and working principle

Encoders are a type of device that converts information from one format into another, increasing and adding information along the way. By converting an angular movement into an electrical signal, they can accurately measure speed, position and direction of an application. In the case of HS35F-1-14-SS-32-AB-9V/OC-SM18-EX-S, it is an incremental rotary shaft encoder, which provides feedback to systems to better monitor and control motion.

In the application field, these incremental shaft encoders are commonly used in the industrial machines which require precise motion control such as stepper motor drivers, conveyors, rotary tables, gaming machines and robotics. They are also perfect for applications that require accurate angular feedback such as medical diagnosis machines, optical imaging systems, robotic arms and factory automation.

A shaft encoder typically features two main parts – the rotary encoder and the driver. The shaft encoder consists of a light source, a code wheel, a light detector and an optical filter. The code wheel has a track which is divided into many parts. When the shaft of the encoder is rotated, the code wheel turns with it and the light coming from the source is broken and reflected by the track. The signals which are created as a result are detected by the light detector and eventually gets sent to the driver.

Shaft encoders like the HS35F-1-14-SS-32-AB-9V/OC-SM18-EX-S can be used with a wide range of different drivers and motors. Since these encoders come with integrated hall sensors, they are capable of providing an accurate measure of the position and speed of the motor or application at any given moment. This makes them ideal for applications that require precise and reliable motion control.

Additionally, the HS35F-1-14-SS-32-AB-9V/OC-SM18-EX-S features a detachable, plug-and-play output connector which allows users to switch out the connector types depending on their system’s requirements. These encoders also feature a high-resolution index which can detect up to 8192 counts per revolution. This allows the encoder to be used in applications where high accuracy and reliability are essential.

In summary, the HS35F-1-14-SS-32-AB-9V/OC-SM18-EX-S is a type of incremental shaft encoder, commonly used for applications that require precise and accurate motion control. Featuring integrated hall sensors and high-resolution index, these encoders are perfect for industrial and medical use, with a detachable connector which allows users to switch out the connector type depending on their system’s requirements.
