Encoder Wheel

Encoder wheels (also called code wheels or encoder disks) are precision mechanical component that converts rotational motion into digital electrical signals for position, speed, or direction feedback. Typically equipped with evenly spaced teeth or slots, it works with a sensor to generate pulse signals (PPR: Pulses Per Revolution), enabling precise measurement of rotational displacement. Made from durable materials like aluminum alloy or polyurethane, it features anti-interference design (e.g., IP protection) and can withstand harsh environments, widely used in industrial automation, robotics, and motion control systems.

 

Materials Available:

• Polyurethane (PU):Polyurethane wheels are made of polyurethane elastomer, which is a polymer material formed by the reaction of polyisocyanate and polyol. This material can be customized with different formulations to achieve various properties.
• Aluminum: Reduces rotational mass, enabling high-speed operation (up to 10,000+ RPM) with minimal energy loss.

 

Metal Core Available:

• Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Ideal for high-speed or manual equipment.

 

Hardness:

Range 65A shore. Standard hardness for encoder wheel.

 

Key Features:

• High Precision Measurement: By precisely counting the number of pulses generated during rotation, they can provide extremely fine – grained position and movement data, crucial for applications demanding exact positioning.
• Reliable and Stable Performance: Constructed with durable materials and robust internal components, encoder wheels offer consistent performance over extended periods.
• Environmental Resistance: Operates in -40°C to +80°C ranges (critical for automotive/aerospace).
• High – speed Adaptability: Many encoder wheels are engineered to handle high rotational speeds without sacrificing measurement accuracy.
• Low inertia & high speed: (up to 3000 RPM) enabling rapid, responsive rotation in automation systems.
• Easy Installation and Maintenance: Designed with user – friendliness in mind, encoder wheels usually feature simple installation mechanisms, reducing setup time.

 

Simple Structure:

Easy to install, easy to assemble and disassemble.
