Absolute encoder installation
Absolute encoders mechanical installation of high-speed end of the installation, the installation of low-end, auxiliary machinery installations and other forms.
High-speed side installation: to the power of the motor shaft end (or geared), the advantage of this method is high resolution, due to the multi-turn encoder is 4096 revolutions, motor rotation number within this scale range, can be improved with a full range of foot resolution, disadvantage is that after the moving object through a reduction gear, a gear clearance to return an error, generally used for one-way high-precision positioning control, such as rolling roll gap control. Further encoder mounted directly on the end of a high speed, the motor must be less jitter, or easy to damage the encoder.
Low-end installation: After the reduction gear, such as wire rope winch drum shaft or a final reduction gear shaft, this method is no longer to gear backlash, more direct measurement, high precision, this measuring method is generally long positioned at a distance, for example, various lifting equipment, feed carriage positioning.
Auxiliary machinery installation: commonly used rack and pinion, chain belt, friction wheel, closing rope machinery.
