[Emc-users] OT: Hall 10Bit 360° Programmable M agnetic Rotary Encoder

2010-12-08 Thread Andrea Montefusco
Hi all,

Did anyone ever used this sensor ?

http://docs-europe.electrocomponents.com/webdocs/0d59/0900766b80d59dc8.pdf

on the paper it seems very interesting (1024 steps/turn up to 30K RPM).

BTW: how about using them as encoders in a small gantry router ?

 *am*

What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly 
upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support? Time to move
off Lotus Notes and onto the cloud with Force.com, apps are easier to build,
use, and manage than apps on traditional platforms. Sign up for the Lotus

I have looked at these. The linearity is quite poor, see pg. 6 and 7
It looks like you might be up to 10 counts out at any position with an
optimally placed magnet.

Slotted encoders are usually out by a % of less than one count.

The parameters will also change as the bearings wear over time. I think they
are great for something like a butterfly valve or accelerator pedal where
lots of discrete steps are required, but their relative accuracy is not
important.

Roland
