Application advantages of rotary encoders

Release time:

2023-01-07

The application of positioning, proximity switches and photoelectric switches in industrial control has been quite mature and easy to use. However, with the continuous development of industrial control, there are new requirements, so the application advantages of rotary encoders are highlighted:

Informatization: In addition to positioning, the control room can also know its specific location;

Flexibility: positioning can be flexibly adjusted in the control room;

Easy on-site installation, safety and long life: a fist-sized rotary encoder can measure intervals from a few μ to tens or hundreds of meters, N stations. As long as the safe installation problem of the rotary encoder is solved, the mechanical installation trouble, easy collision, high temperature, humidity and many other problems of proximity switches and photoelectric switches in the field can be avoided. Because it is a photoelectric code disk, there is no mechanical loss, as long as the installation position is correct, the service life is often very long.

Multi-functional: In addition to positioning, it can also transmit the current position and convert the speed of motion, which is especially important for applications such as frequency converters and stepper motors.

Economy: For multiple control stations, only the cost of a rotary encoder is required, and more importantly, the cost of installation, maintenance and loss is reduced, and the service life is extended, and its economy is gradually highlighted.
