Coded Disc Encoder 20 Holds Motor Speed Sensor for Robot Speed Test (Pack Of 5)

Description

1. Code Patterns: The disc has specific slots or markings that create a unique pattern. As the disc rotates, the sensor detects these patterns, allowing the microcontroller or computer to calculate the speed and direction of rotation.
2. Pulses per Revolution: The number of slots or markings on the disc determines the resolution of the encoder. More slots provide higher resolution, allowing for more precise measurements of speed and position.
3. Speed Measurement: By counting the number of pulses (or changes in the code pattern) detected per unit of time, the sensor can calculate the rotational speed of the motor or shaft. This information is valuable for controlling the movement of robots, especially in tasks that require specific speeds or precision.
4. Direction Detection: The sequence and order of the code patterns can also indicate the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise). This directional information is crucial for determining the movement of the robot.
5. Applications: Coded disc encoders are commonly used in robotics for tasks such as odometry (measuring distance traveled), speed control, feedback control systems, and navigation. They are essential for robot speed tests and accurate motion control.
