Working Principle

The working principle of the PEC11-4020F-S0012 encoder is based on the principle of inductive pick up. The encoder consists of two parts, namely, the stationary part and the rotating part. The stationary part consists of two windings that are electromagnetically coupled to the rotating part. The stationary part is connected to a power supply, while the rotating part contains a multi-turn absolute optical encoder.

The main advantage of this encoder is that it does not require a battery to function. The electric current flowing through the stationary and rotating parts of the encoder creates a magnetic field which stimulates an electrical pickup system which operates on the principle of inductance. As the rotating part of the encoder turns, the magnetic field generated by the windings induces a voltage in the inductive pickup system. This voltage is proportional to the number of turns manipulated on the encoder’s shaft. The generated voltage is sent to the controller, where it is converted to a digital signal to be analyzed.

This signal is then processed by the controller and is translated into a digital value, which can then be used to control the assigned task, or be used as an input signal for further automation. This encoder is able to measure rotational speed and position with accuracy up to 10 µm (micrometers) and is able to withstand temperatures up to 70°C.

Conclusion

The PEC11-4020F-S0012 encoder is a reliable and easy to use rotary encoder with a variety of applications. It uses the principle of inductive pick up which allows it to generate high accuracy measurements. This encoder is widely used in robotics, medical equipment, automotive, consumer electronics, appliances and energy sectors. It is also able to withstand temperatures up to 70°C.

In conclusion, the PEC11-4020F-S0012 encoder is an effective, reliable and accurate encoder, suitable for a range of applications.
