According to the requirements of high-resolution spaceborne camera focusing mechanism, a dual readings multi-turn absolute encoder is designed. Accuracy and high-resolution glass plate is the first level absolute matrix optical code disc; metal plate with light weight and small size is the second level absolute matrix optical code disc which completes the count of the number of first level disc turns; double slit and double reading system to meet the circuit cold backup. The encoder can offer that resolution of 80″, accuracy between ± 100″, cylinder number is 16, its dimensions for ϕ 50 mm ×50 mm, weight of 270 g. According to the requirements of identified spaceborne product, the function of encoder is verified through kinds of experiments. The experimental result shows that the encoder is stable, reliable and satisfies for the requirement of highresolution spaceborne focusing mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
