HEIDENHAIN Angle Encoders

The term angle encoder is typically used to describe encoders that have an accuracy of better than ± 5" and a line count above 10 000.

In contrast, rotary encoders are encoders that typically have an accuracy better than ± 10“.Angle encoders are found in applications requiring precision angular measurement to accuracies within several arc seconds.Examples:

Rotary tables on machine tools • Swivel heads on machine tools • C-axes of lathes

• Measuring machines for gears • Printing units of printing machines • Spectrometers • T elescopes • etc.

The tables on the following pages list different types of angle encoders to suit various applications and meet different requirements.

RCN 729 incremental angle encoder

Angle encoders can have one of the following mechanical designs:

Angle encoders with integral bearing, hollow shaft and integrated stator coupling

Because of the design and mounting of the stator coupling, it must absorb only that torque caused by friction in the bearing during angular acceleration of the shaft. RCN, RON and RPN angle encoders therefore provide excellent dynamic performance. With an integrated stator coupling, the stated system accuracy also includes deviations from the shaft coupling.

Other advantages:

Compact size for limited installation • space

Hollow shaft diameters up to 100 mm • to provide space for power lines, etc.Simple installation
