Why are digital encoders better than analog tachogenerators?!
Changchun Rongde Optics Co.,Ltd. Release time:2016/2/29 Browse:824- Analog tachogenerators have brushes that wear out and therefore require maintenance. Also because of this brush wear, the electrical output can vary and cause process control variations. With a digital encoder there are no wearing parts other than bearings so there is no periodic maintenance. Avtron Modular encoders even eliminate the bearings!
- Analog tachogenerators are made from copper and iron, whose properties change as time and temperature change. A digital encoder's output pulses per revolution (PPR) will remain the same over both time and changes in temperature.
- Digital encoders cost less than "precision" analog tachogenerators.
