PEC11R-4315F-S0012

Encoders are electromechanical devices that convert motion and position into digital signals. The most common type of encoder is the incremental rotary encoder, which is used to measure the rotational speed and direction of a shaft. The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 is a type of incremental rotary encoder that is widely used in a variety of applications.

Application Field

The PEC11R-4315F-S0012’s primary application field is in shaft angle position sensing, typically for motor or engine control applications. It is often used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. Some general examples include the operation of automotive speedometers, power tool speed controllers, robotics, automation equipment, and more. The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 is a great choice for these types of applications due to the combination of its small size and high resolution.

Working Principle

Rotary encoders are based on a very simple principle: the rotation of a shaft is measured by counting pulses from the encoder as the shaft moves. The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 encoder uses two optical sensors arranged at 90 degree intervals and a slotted disc to count the pulses detected by the sensors. As the disc passes by the sensor, it will either be detected or not. This detection is what produces the pulses for the encoder. By counting the pulses, the angular displacement of the shaft can be determined.

The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 encoder is able to achieve high resolution because the slotted disc is divided into a large number of slots. The more slots on the disc, the more pulses are generated, and the higher the resolution of the output signal. The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 encoder is a quadrature encoder, meaning that it produces two output signals, A and B. These signals provide information about the direction that the shaft is turning, as well as the speed that it is turning. The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 encoder is extremely sensitive, and can detect an angular rotation of 0.02 degrees.

Conclusion

The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 encoder is a versatile, high-resolution incremental rotary encoder which is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its small size and high resolution make it an ideal choice for motor and engine control applications in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. The PEC11R-4315F-S0012 encoder is based on a very simple principle, and is easy to install and use.
