a. Type selection. First, determine whether to use an incremental encoder or an absolute encoder according to the application needs and whether the absolute encoder should be a single-turn absolute or multi-turn absolute encoder.

b. Signal selection, according to the signal interface of the existing encoder receiving equipment, select the matching absolute value encoder signal output interface. Such as CAN, RS485 or the output interface of SSI?

c. Resolution and range (number of turns). According to application needs, select the resolution (number of positions) of each turn of the encoder and the requirements of measurement stroke (number of turns of an encoder).

d, Operating voltage selection, DC5V or 24V?

e, working environment and encoder grade, standard industrial grade (all kinds of equipment, outdoor equipment, various automation projects), special industrial requirements. The encoder grade should be selected according to the actual operating conditions, and the standard industrial grade should be selected in most cases.
f, shape installation, according to the installation requirements of mechanical equipment, choose the installation flange form of the encoder, the encoder has solid shaft type and blind hole installation mode.
