The selection of encoder and what are the common faults
The selection of encoder and what are the common faults
Encoders are one of the more widely used electronic components. We also know that there are more specifications and models of encoders, such as hollow encoders and rotary encoders. So what should we pay attention to when selecting models? Generally speaking, we will judge whether the modified product is applicable based on the detailed information such as the relevant specifications of the product. Such as the encoder's mechanical installation size, cable outlet mode, installation space volume, working environment protection level meets the requirements, resolution (that is, the number of pulses output per revolution when the encoder is working, whether it meets the design and use accuracy requirements), electrical interface, Whether its output mode matches the interface circuit of its control system, etc. Secondly, the encoder will have a lot of failures during use, so let me give you a brief introduction below!
If the encoder's own components fail and cause it to fail to generate and output the correct waveform, the encoder needs to be replaced or its internal components repaired. If the encoder connection cable is faulty, it is usually because the encoder cable is open, short-circuited, or poorly connected. At this time, the cable or connector must be replaced. Pay attention to whether it is because the cable is not tightly fixed, which causes the loose welding or disconnection. At this time, the cable needs to be clamped. If the encoder +5V power supply drops: it means that the +5V power supply is too low. Under normal circumstances, it cannot be lower than 4.75V. The reason for the too low is that the power supply fails or the resistance of the power transmission cable is too large. Check the power supply or replace the cable.
(1)Encoder EC11M

Encoder EC11M_Product introduction:
EC11M encoder is also called switch encoder, rotary encoder, car encoder, etc. The EC11M series encoders are in-line encoders, and the difference from EC11E is that the bottom is a threaded handle. EC11M encoder has two types: 20 pulses and 20 positioning points, 15 pulses and 30 positioning points. The packaging is 250pcs/box, the adjustment shaft has full handle, half handle, etc., and the shaft length is between 9-30mm, customized according to customer requirements.
EC11M series encoders are mainly used in automotive electronics, multimedia audio, instrumentation, household appliances, smart homes, computer peripherals, medical equipment and other fields. Mainly used for parameter control of frequency adjustment, brightness adjustment, temperature adjustment, and volume adjustment. Please note that the encoder should not be stored in high-temperature, humid and corrosive places. The unused products after unpacking should be stored in a moisture-proof and anti-virus environment.
