How to prevent encoders malfunctioning as a result of bearing currents
Kubler 12th Dec 2022
Despite their high level of reliability when used in an industrial environment, encoders are not basically immune to all the stresses and strains imposed on them. So, for example, the high precision opto-electronic measuring systems are sensitive to bearing currents. Particularly at risk are encoders in large drives such as asynchronous motors and AC vector motors, used for example in mixers and agitators, grinders and plastic-film production plant. The bearing currents that occur here can caus
