Related to the incremental encoding disk. It is the difference between
the theoretical position of one increment or bit edge and the actual
position of the edge.
The force applied to a shaft end surface directed along the axis of
rotation.
Maximum axial load is the maximum force that may be applied to the
shaft without reducing the rated operating life or causing deviation
from the rated performance.
Bi-directional refers to an encoder output code format from which
direction of travel can be determined.
Sets essential electromagnetic compatibility, within the European
markets, for all electrical and electronic equipment that may interfere
with other equipment, or that may be interfered by other equipment.
Each channel is a unique incremental output of the encoder.
A logic form that requires current flow out of the input of the PLC or
counter and back to the output of the encoder. The encoder “sinks”
this current, which is “sourced” by the input circuitry. This is the most
common output circuit configuration. It uses an NPN output transistor
in the encoder.
A logic form that requires current flow from the output of the encoder
to the input of the counter or PLC. The encoder “sources” the current
and the input circuitry of the counter or PLC “sinks” this current.
This output circuit is seldom used. It usually requires a PNP output
transistor in the encoder.
Called CPR. The number of increments on the disk of an incremental
encoder. A one thousand increment encoder has a CPR of 1000.
Differential output refers to the complementary outputs from
a feedback device when the signals are excited by a Line Driver.
Optimum performance is achieved when the receiver input impedance
is matched to the line receiver output and transmission line.
Typically made of glass, metal or plastic with precise position
incremental lines. These lines are also known as increments. The
number of increments determines the resolution or CPR of the
encoder.
An encoder is an electro-mechanical device that translates mechanical
motion (such as position, velocity, acceleration, speed, direction) into
electrical signals.
The maximum frequency in cycles per second.
An incremental encoder is a device that provides a series of periodic
signals due to mechanical motion. The number of successive cycles
corresponds to the resolvable mechanical increments of motion.
The index is a separate output generated by a special track which
produces a single cycle (or transition change) at a unique position
or positions such as center, home, zero, or reset point. Sometimes
referred to as a marker pulse.
Protected against dust. Limited ingress (no harmful deposit).
Totally protected against dust. Protected against water sprayed from all
directions. Limited ingress permitted.
Totally protected against dust. Protected against low pressure jets of
water from all directions. Limited ingress permitted.
Totally protected against dust. Protected against strong jets of water.
Limited ingress permitted.
Totally protected against dust. Protected against the effect of
immersion between 15cm and 1m.
A circuit that provides error-free output pulses in electrically noisy
environments or over long transmission lines when used with a line
receiver.
When activated, the pulse goes low (logic 0) or in a negative direction.
Do not be confused by “negative going” meaning the pulse goes
negative in relationship to the signal common or reference level. These
statements are for “positive logic” only. All shaft encoders are based
on positive logic.
Enclosure rating intended for indoor or outdoor use primarily to
provide a degree of protection against windblown dust and rain,
splashing water, and hose directed water; undamaged by the formation
of ice on the enclosure.
