Description

The sensor operates on an optical interruption principle, where an infrared LED and a phototransistor are aligned within a plastic housing. The rotating encoder disc, with its precisely laser-cut slots, modulates the IR beam, generating digital pulses corresponding to angular displacement. The dual-channel TTL output provides both speed and directional data, enabling accurate velocity control and position tracking in closed-loop systems.

Designed for integration into electromechanical assemblies, the module delivers fast response times and high repeatability. Its straightforward interface and robust stainless steel disc make it suitable for applications requiring reliable rotary feedback in environments where contact-based encoders may suffer from wear or mechanical failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this encoder module?

The module is designed for a nominal 5V DC supply. It is critical to stay within this specified voltage to ensure proper TTL output signal levels and to prevent damage to the internal IR LED and photodiode circuitry. Do not exceed 5V DC.

How do I wire the yellow and blue signal outputs?

The yellow and blue wires provide two TTL-level digital output channels (Channel A and Channel B) in quadrature. Connect them directly to digital input pins on a microcontroller like an Arduino. The phase relationship between these two signals determines the direction of rotation, while the pulse frequency corresponds to speed.

Can this sensor measure both speed and direction of rotation?

Yes. The dual-channel quadrature output allows for precise measurement of rotational speed (via pulse counting) and unambiguous direction detection. By monitoring which channel leads the other, your control system can determine if the attached shaft is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.

How do I mount the provided stainless steel encoder disc?

The disc has a 3.5mm inner diameter bore. It should be press-fit or secured onto a motor shaft or rotating axle of matching diameter, ensuring it is centered and rotates without wobble. The disc must pass through the slot in the sensor housing, with the slots interrupting the IR beam as it turns.
