Encoder Application Classification

Encoder Application Classification

Encoder is a sensor that encodes physical information such as angle, length, and speed using digital quantities 0 and 1. Due to its high precision, large range, fast response, digital output and other characteristics, it has the advantages of small size, light weight, compact mechanism, convenient installation, simple maintenance, etc. It has become an indispensable part of the Industrial control system due to its reliable operation and other excellent characteristics.
1) According to the measurement method, there are Linear encoder and rotary encoder.
2) According to its output signal, it is divided into incremental encoders and * * encoders.
3) Its internal reaction components include a photoelectric encoder and a magnetic gate encoder.
4) It is divided into bearing encoders and bearingless encoders in the form of mechanical mechanisms.
According to different usage environments, encoders can be roughly divided into commercial grade, chip grade, economic grade, standard industrial grade, and various industrial application grades.
Commercial and chip level:
This encoder is suitable for internal use in printers and magnetic card machines. Chip level: The price is very low, but there is no shell or simple shell. The power and signal processing are simple and suitable for manufacturers to develop secondary circuits.
Economy and Industry:
The existing economic level of simple packaging and simple handling is suitable for single machine equipment such as embroidery machines, but the economic level has economic characteristics compared to industrial level. Its description and material selection are economical and affordable, but they are not suitable for large equipment, Assembly line and engineering projects. The description, material selection and testing of industrial grade are carried out according to the standard industrial requirements, and are applicable to industrial equipment, Assembly line and engineering projects in various industries.
