High-quality Dynapar encoders and electromechanical device designed to determine the position of a rotating shaft is called an encoder. Dynapar is a world leader in the production of absolute and incremental encoders. Dynapar encoders are divided into incremental and absolute. Incremental encoders. Such devices have a pulse digital code, which determines the angle of rotation of the shaft axis of a rotating object. Such a sensor is used if there is no need to maintain an absolute angular position when turning on the power. In other words, if there is no shaft rotation, then no pulse is sent by the sensor. If you measured a certain deviation in the angle of rotation, turned off the machine and turned it on again, then such a sensor will start counting the angle from zero, and not from the previously measured angle. A flexible adapter connects the axes of the object and the encoder. Such sensors are easy to use and have a low cost. Absolute encoders. In the event of a power outage, they do not require the object to be returned to its initial position; such sensors will determine the rotation angle for each position of the object. Compared to incremental encoders, absolute encoders have clear advantages. There is no need to use a pulse counter since the rotation angle is always known.
