Technology and Measuring Methods

Incremental and Absolute Rotary


Encoders for Optimal Performance

Each rotary encoder application has its own unique requirements.


When looking for the best application solution, there are several
types of encoders that you can choose from. These types are
characterized by different measuring methods, signal outputs,
and mounting preferences.

Absolute Rotary Encoders

Absolute rotary encoders deliver a clearly defined numerical


value for each position of the shaft. Because the connected
controller does not have to make complex calculations,
you do not need costly input components. The absolute
position value is available at any time. No time-consuming
machine homing cycles are required when the machine is
switched on or after a power failure.

Incremental Rotary Encoders Single Turn and Multiturn

Incremental rotary encoders are used to detect the speed With absolute rotary encoders, there is a difference between
and position of a shaft. A precisely defined number of single turn and multiturn versions. For single turn absolute
pulses, up to 50,000, are delivered for each revolution of rotary encoders, one complete revolution of the shaft is

An internal rotating code disc is scanned in parallel using an


optical element. Rotation of the code disc generates a periodic
modulation of the light beam between the LED and sensor.
This modulation is converted into a sinusoidal electrical
signal by the rotary encoder. An incremental rotary encoder
code disc has radial slits. The number of slits determines
the resolution. In optical absolute rotary encoders, a rotary
disk with a Gray code delivers a unique pattern for each
angular position.

Protection for the Most Extreme Conditions


This bearing box offers optimum protection against the effects of strong forces
and is ideally suited for applications with an extremely high bearing load. It
increases service life and ensures that functionality is preserved for a long time
and plant availability remains reliable.

Large Bearing Clearances for Maximum Loads

This bearing box is suitable for rotary encoders with a recessed


hollow shaft and torque rest. It is used in applications with
particularly high shaft loads. It absorbs the forces to which the
rotary encoder would normally be exposed. Providing a rugged
bearing design with large bearing clearances also helps prevent
damage to the rotary encoder. Its saltwater-resistant housing
is ideal for offshore applications.

Rotary Encoders for Offshore Applications

Offshore Rotary Encoders:


Weather-Resistant Encoders for
Highly Corrosive Environments
Wind turbines or gantry systems out at sea are exposed to wind
and weather conditions unlike those experienced by any other type
of technical equipment. In this environment, rotational motion must
be accurately captured and controlled. Special rotary encoders for
offshore applications from Pepperl+Fuchs help align wind turbines,
adjust rotor blades, and monitor rotations.

Offshore Incremental Rotary Encoders – 58 mm Design

Reliable Operation in a Maritime Environment


This encoder is specifically designed for use in maritime environments
and in extremely cold regions. Fields of application include wind
turbines near the coast or at sea. Its seawater-proof coated housing
and a specially designed shaft are ideal for harsh environments.

Robust Construction

This compact rotary encoder is ideal for space-saving inte-


gration. Its robust design guarantees a long service life. With
a temperature range from –40°C to 60°C, this encoder can
handle severe temperature fluctuations. It provides high avail-
ability for wind turbines, gantry cranes, or spreaders that are

Safe Speed and Position Monitoring


The Safe Speed and Position Monitor provides safety functions
for monitoring process conditions. The monitor is ideal for
retrofitting safety functionality to existing plants. It meets all
safety requirements up to SIL 3 /PL e when combined with one
safety or two standard rotary encoders.

Slim, Complete Solution

The position and speed monitor facilitates plant integration


without modification of existing components. In combination
with only one safety or two standard rotary encoders, a security
level up to SIL 3/PL e can be realized. An incremental rotary
encoder with sine-cosine or TTL interface, as well as absolute
rotary encoders with an SSI interface can be used. This enables
a safe monitoring of standstill, speed, direction of rotation,
brake ramp, and position for up to two axes. An additional safety
control unit is not required, which considerably reduces the
installation effort.

For series applications, an integrated chip card facilitates the


commissioning of additional modules. The stored data can be
easily transferred to other units without reparameterization.
