Re: Would this Encoder work? and Encoder Recommendations
Another mounting option for this encoder is to drill a slightly loose hole in the end of the drive shaft to fit the encoder shaft, then cut a slot in the end of the drive shaft to split it and use a clamping shaft collar to hold the encoder securely in the end of the shaft. Works well and can remove/swap the encoder with ease.

Re: Would this Encoder work? and Encoder Recommendations
We have used grayhill encoders the past two years and have not had any issues. We have also used surgical tubing to connect the encoder to an output shaft effectively.
They can be a bit hard to find come build season but we have been purchasing them from mouser. par number 63R256 is a 256 count encoder but there are others. |

Generally speaking, Low RPM favors higher PPR and vice verse. That is a GENERAL rule, not a hard and fast one. Again, it depends. It depends on what you want to do, control speed, distance, or both. What also plays into the decision is what control method you are using. There are trade offs with every choice. The best thing you can do is test out different approaches during the off season. |
