At a Glance
Waterproof Rotary Encoder in Automotive Applications
- Continuous and high-precision speed and mileage tracking
- Enhanced reliability and durability in harsh automotive environments
- Instant position recognition after power cycles
- Rugged design ideal for demanding automotive use cases
The Application
In modern automotive systems, accurate measurement of speed and mileage is critical for optimizing vehicle performance, maintenance schedules, and safety. BriterEncoder’s IP68 waterproof rotary encoders are designed specifically for this purpose and are installed in vehicle wheels to ensure precise tracking of speed and mileage. These encoders provide real-time, high-precision positional data, allowing vehicles to monitor both speed and distance traveled with exceptional accuracy, even after power interruptions.
The Goal
Accurate speed and mileage data are vital for efficient vehicle operations, especially in fleet management and predictive maintenance. Traditional encoders often lack the ability to retain positional memory across power cycles, requiring manual zero-point resets, which can result in operational delays and reduced accuracy. To overcome this challenge, Shanghai Tonglu Yun Traffic Technology Co., Ltd. implemented BriterEncoder’s IP68 waterproof rotary encoders to provide instant and accurate positional data after each power-up, thus improving overall vehicle efficiency and operational precision.
The Solution
BriterEncoder’s IP68 waterproof rotary encoders are seamlessly integrated into the wheel assembly of vehicles. By utilizing an advanced reduction gear mechanism, these encoders capture precise angular movement, ensuring that speed and mileage are continuously monitored and recorded with high fidelity. This solution eliminates the need for manual zero-point resets and ensures that vehicles can operate efficiently without delays or inaccuracies after power interruptions.
The Benefits
The incorporation of BriterEncoder’s IP68 waterproof rotary encoders provides several key advantages:
- Instant Data Availability: Encoders deliver immediate speed and mileage data after power-up, allowing for uninterrupted vehicle operations.
