Applied Technical Services’ ENI Labs offers free evaluations for fairly priced encoder repair services.
What is an Encoder?
Encoders are sensing devices that provide feedback to control systems. A control device reads the electrical signals from the encoder, which sends back a message detailing the motor’s position, direction, and speed.
Types of Encoders
We conduct repairs for many different types of encoders, including:
Rotary Encoders
Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices that convert a rotary shaft’s motion and angular position into digital or analog outputs. The advantages of rotary encoders include the following:
- Highly reliable
- Low-cost feedback
- High resolution
- Compact size
- Integrated electronics
Linear Encoders
Linear encoders measure the motion of objects along a straight line and offer several advantages, including:
- Higher resolution
- Improved startup performance
- Accurate motion detection along multiple axes
- Improved integration with electronics
- Improved recovery from power failures
- Improved integration with electronics
Optical Encoders
Optical Encoders consist of a light source and a rotating disk with alternating translucent spots and opaque lines. Optical encoders have many advantages, including:
- High accuracy and resolution
- Relaible
- Easily accessible
- Resistant to electrical noise interface
Common Encoder Issues
- Liquid / dust contamination
- Low amplitude signals
- Heat damage
- Worn-out ball bearings
