Question

2. What is the reason for encoders’ damage?

3. Calculate the speed of a motor shaft and output shaft when the encoder has 250 slots, frequency of the encoder channel is 1500 Hz, and gear ratio is 40.

Answer 1

1.mechanical factors

a)shaft loading- more will be the loading less will be life of encoder

b)shaft speed - greater the speed lesser is life of encoder.

c)vibration-is the can cause damage of encoder

d)bore tollerance- a suitable fit is desirable for proper woeking of encoder and life of encoder

2.electrical factor

a) current - if current is excessive can damage encoder

3.environmental factor

a)tmperature-temperature cycling can damage thge encoder

b)contamination-foreign material like dust moisture can damage the encoder
