Optical Encoder

Optical Encoders – MW (weight: ≈ 0.5 Kg)

  • Metric wheels are used with encoders mainly for length measuring applications.
  • Metric wheels are used with encoders mainly for length measuring applications and the accuracy is given by the ratio between the wheel circumference and encoder’s resolution.
e.g.:
  • 500 mm / 8192 CPR = 0.061 mm per code
  • 500 mm / 10000 PPR = 0.05 mm per pulse
