A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
An encoder typically uses optical, magnetic, or capacitive sensing to generate digital pulses, while a resolver uses electromagnetic induction to produce analog sine/cosine signals. Encoders provide digital output, resolvers provide analog output and are often more robust in harsh environments.
Resolution determines the smallest position change detectable. Higher resolution (more bits) provides finer feedback but may require higher processing speed. Consider the required positioning accuracy and system bandwidth. Verify the resolution range (8–24 bits) with the manufacturer for your specific model.
Signs of malfunction include erratic output signals, loss of position feedback, or increased position error. These may indicate contamination, wear, electrical failure, or mechanical misalignment. Regular inspection and cleaning may be required, but always follow manufacturer guidelines.
Exceeding maximum speed (6000–12000 rpm), operating outside the temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), or exposing to moisture beyond the protection class (IP54–IP67) can cause mechanical or electrical failure. Always ensure the component is used within its specified limits.
