Check the max frequency on any encoder you look at. The inexpensive ones max out at 200 K. Frequency is not a problem is you want to throw $$ at it. It is very hard to win; lots of counts at the high end but not many when you are creeping. There just ain't no free lunch.

Hi guys

wondering if anyone has any ideas here.

I have a heidanhain spindle motor that runs up to 10000 rpm and has a 5v
sin cos encoder on it.  I am currently controlling the motor with a
schiender vfd.  I am talking to the support engineers here in New Zealand
about buying a encoder card so I can get better low down torque.  If I run
the card in full encoder closed loop control in the vfd I can get 200
percent of the torque right down to 0 rpm for 30 seconds or so which is
pretty useful.  I am currently just running the drive in Variable frequency
control which rapidly looses torque at low rpm.

Anyway they have a bunch of cards I can use but don't have a encoder card
that is suitable for sin cos encoders.  I have no trouble changing the
encoder but am not sure if I can get a source of encoders that spin up to
10k rpm.

Anyone have any suggestions?

regards

Andrew
