CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Incremental encoders generate a series of pulses that indicate relative position changes, requiring a reference point to determine absolute position. Absolute encoders provide a unique digital code for each position, so the absolute position is known immediately upon power-up, even after a power loss.
Resolution, measured in pulses per revolution (PPR), determines the smallest detectable movement. Higher resolution allows finer positioning but may require higher-speed signal processing. Consider the required positioning accuracy and the controller's ability to handle the pulse frequency.
Common output signals include push-pull and line driver. Push-pull outputs can source or sink current, suitable for short distances. Line driver outputs use differential signals, providing better noise immunity for longer cable runs. The choice depends on the controller input and cable length.
The protection class (IP rating) indicates resistance to dust and water. For washdown environments, an IP67 rating is recommended. Verify the actual IP rating of the specific model with the manufacturer and ensure it meets your environmental requirements.
