Question

An incremental encoder is rotating at 15 rpm. On the wheel there are 40 holes. How many degrees of rotation would 1 pulse be?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 pulse rotate = 9 degree

Explanation:

given data

incremental encoder rotating = 15 rpm

wheel holes = 40

solution

we get here first 1 revolution time

as 15 revolution take = 60 second

so 1 revolution take = $\frac{60}{15}$

1 revolution take = 4 seconds

and

40 pulse are there for 1 revolution

40 pulse for 360 degree

so 1 pulse rotate is = $\frac{360}{40}$

1 pulse rotate = 9 degree
