Why do alps encoders need to install couplings？

alps encoder, generally called alps encoder,It is a Japanese encoder component, and its performance is slightly better than other traditional encoders. So what is the purpose of the alps encoder? Do we know anything about it? Generally, in the use of the encoder, in addition to understanding the details of the operation of the ALPS encoder, but also pay attention to the daily maintenance of the encoder . If you are not a technician, you may have a lack of understanding of common sense in this area. Now I will tell you why the alps encoder should be equipped with a coupling.

Why do alps encoders need to install couplings

Why add a coupler to the Alps encoder? First, the coupling ensures the connection between the motor and the Alps encoder. The main function of the coupling is to absorb to a large extent the deviation between the shaft and the shaft generated during the installation of the encoder, and the main function of the coupling is to absorb the shaft during the installation of the encoder to a large extent And the deviation between the axis. And coupling installation is also very convenient, because the basic maintenance needs are used. However, no clearance is allowed during the driving of the coupling. Otherwise, it will affect the accuracy of the Alps encoder.

Alps encoder connection description:

The alps encoder is a photoelectric rotation measuring device, which directly converts the measured angular displacement into a digital signal. Then input the main output pulse signal of the Alps encoder directly into the PLC. Use PLC high-speed counter to count pulse signals to obtain measurement results. Therefore, the wiring method of the alps encoder is: connect three pulse output lines to the corresponding A, B, Z three-phase pulse output lines, and the remaining two lines and the positive and negative leads connected to the power supply can be used.

Alps encoder operating instructions

1. When the extreme connection between the Alps encoder and the load is disconnected and has not been reconnected, in order to prevent errors in the measured data, the operation should be performed after correcting and resetting all aspects of the data.

2. The data correction reset of the Alps encoder should be carried out every time the device is started and debugged, otherwise the final data of the Alps encoder will lead to poor data accuracy in the next operation.

3. In the operation of the alps encoder, vibration and shock are prohibited, otherwise the measurement data will have an excessive deviation.
