100 PPR encoder dial

Post by Mill/Drill »

Found this on eBay. Might be incorporated into a low tech stepper motor control panel.

Not sure but 100ppr is 3.6 deg per pulse kind of crude or am I missing something???

Well yes you could be missing some gears that give the final drive something more like you are looking for. Just a thought.

actually, that is a fairly common number used on machines.

Most controllers have a 'divide by' function built into the control, so the 100 PPR on the wheel can become 1000 or 10000 with the flick of a knob.

Since most controls work Metric internally, 100 ppr = 0.1 mm or 0.01 or 0.001 using the divide by function.

This is what I use on my Fagor based mill and have installed in several dozen others over the years.
Too many things going on to bother listing them.
