KOBOLD rotary encoders are used to measure length, position, rotational speed and angle. They convert mechanical motion to electrical signals. Incremental rotary encoders output a frequency signal which can represent speed, length or position. A rotatable disc, on which a grating is attached, is mounted between an LED and a receiver. The light emitted from the LED is modulated by the grating and hits the receiver, which outputs a sinusoidal signal that is proportional to the light received. The sinusoidal signal is processed by specially designed electronics. Standard control systems – including all KOBOLD counters – require digital, square-wave signals at the input. Thus the signal is conditioned in the rotary encoder and is outputed through different output circuits depending on the field of application.
