Working Principle

The working principle of the PEC12-4217F-N0024 encoder is based on a variable reluctance detector mounted on the shaft. It consists of two pairs of magnets placed on the core. One pair of magnets is stationary and the other is on the rotating shaft. When the magnets rotate, the magnetic flux between the stationary and the rotating magnets is varied, thus generating a sine wave. This sine wave is encoded and decoded into digital output, which is read by the electronic circuit for determining the position of the shaft.

In addition to the variable reluctance detector, PEC12-4217F-N0024 encoder also offers an integrated optical encoder which enables it to measure the absolute angle of the rotating shaft. The optical encoder is composed of two parts, the emitting part and the receiving part. The emitting part emits a beam of light which is reflected by mirrors placed on the rotating shaft. The reflected light then passes through a sensing section of the encoder and is read by a light detector. The reflected pattern is decoded into digital signal and transmitted for processing.

The PEC12-4217F-N0024 encoder offers a reliable and accurate method for measuring the angular position of the rotating shaft. Its relative small size and high precision make it a great solution for a wide range of applications in the automation and motion control industries. With its easy programming and installation, it is one of the most versatile and reliable encoders on the market.
