Absolute Optical encoders Electrical and Electrical Engineering Manufacturing Company They are used in mechanical engineering, and due to their compact size, they are characterized by their high resolution up to 16 bits (65.536 clock cycles per revolution). The measurement range in the single-turn version is from 0 to 360 °, and 4096 revolutions in the multi-turn version. The design of the TWK-ELEKTRONIK KBN series sensors consists of a flange, an aluminum housing, a stainless steel shaft, ball bearings with an O-ring, an encoding disk made of glass or durable plastic, GaAIA diodes, a photo-transistor matrix with trigger circuits for long-term stabilization of sensor systems. Sequential binary information is processed through the rotation angle in a microcontroller with an integrated CAN interface.
