Working Principles

The PEC16-2115F-N0012 rotary encoder operates on the principle of converting mechanical motion into digital signals. As the shaft rotates, the slotted disc inside the encoder modulates the light beam, generating the quadrature output signals. The push switch provides an additional input for control or selection functions.

Detailed Application Field Plans

1. Industrial Automation: Used in conveyor systems, robotic arms, and CNC machines for precise position feedback.
2. Consumer Electronics: Integrated into audio equipment, printers, and home appliances for user interface control.
3. Automotive: Employed in vehicle throttle position sensors and steering angle sensors for automotive control systems.
