ENCODER

Encoder Definition In general, an encoder is a device or process that converts data from one form to another. In the field of position sensing, an encoder is a device that detects mechanical motion and converts it into an analog or digitally encoded output signal. More precisely, it measures position, while velocity, acceleration, and orientation data can be derived from positional information for linear or rotational motion.

Selection should pay attention to three parameters:

1. Mechanical installation dimensions: including positioning spigot, shaft diameter, installation hole position; cable outlet method; installation space volume; whether the protection level of the working environment meets the requirements.

2. Resolution: that is, the number of pulses output per revolution when the encoder is working, whether it meets the design accuracy requirements.

3. Electrical interface: The common encoder output methods include push-pull output (F type HTL format), voltage output (E), open collector (C, common C is NPN type tube output, C2 is PNP type tube output), long-line driver output. Its output mode should match the interface circuit of its control system.
