Incremental Encoders ELGO Electric |Measuring Systems 3 The basis of the magnetic incremental encoders consists of ascanning technology,which scans the north and south poles on the coded magnetic tape and produces a single Sine/Cosine wave for each pole. The complete Sine/Cosine signal process is interpolated elec-tronically.Depending on refinementof the interpolation,toge- ther with the pole distance of the magnetic tape,the resolu- tion of the measuring system is determined.There are magne- tic tapes with differentpole distances (2,2.5 or 5 mm) available, which are used for differentproducts...
