Definition and different types of linear encodersA linear encoder determines the physical variable length. When measuring, a measuring instrument is used to determine the length of the object to be measured, which can be read off the digits of the measuring instrument. These values are expressed in physical units of length. That's kilometers, meters and more like micrometers. Length measurement can be carried out according to two principles. The distance between the lines on the measuring device is determined or the distance between two surfaces is taken.Some examples for linear encoders: Common linear encoders are the folding rule, the ruler, the caliper gauge, the measuring wheel and the measuring tape. Electronic length meters measure the distances by using electronic or acoustic waves. Laser rangefinders work with laser pulses. The length is determined by measuring the time it takes for a laser pulse to be reflected. Applications and applications for length measurementPath of the multitude of linear encoders follows some examples. The ruler is used to determine lengths in the range of a few meters. It is used at home or at work. The ruler is a measuring device used in schools. It measures in the centimeter range. Thus the basic knowledge of measuring, length removal and solving mathematical tasks are taught. The micrometer screw measures lengths in the micrometer range.A sample applicationA carpenter measures a piece of wood, because the wood required must not be longer than one meter. He takes the folding rule and places it against the wooden edge. It then follows the scale, which indicates the length in metres, decimetres and centimetres, and marks the desired length on the piece of wood.
