Abstract:
A scanning unit for a position measuring device for scanning a measuring graduation thereof, includes a scanning structure provided on a carrier and formed such that, by interaction of electromagnetic radiation, with the measuring graduation and the scanning structure, a periodic stripe pattern is generated. A detector arrangement includes detector elements of different phases that generate output signals having a phase shift. The detector elements form a periodic pattern, and each detector element is assigned exactly one region of the scanning structure referred to as a bar. The detector elements are combined to form two detector groups. Detector elements of the same phase belong to the same detector group, and the detector elements within one detector group are interconnected. The bars of each detector group cover an active area of equal size. The area center of gravity of the area covered by the bars of the detector groups coincide.
Abstract:
A scanning unit for a position measuring device for scanning a measuring graduation of the position measuring device, includes a scanning structure that is provided on a carrier and is formed such that, by interaction of an electromagnetic radiation, used for scanning the measuring graduation, with the measuring graduation on one hand and with the scanning structure on the other hand, a periodic stripe pattern is generated. A detector arrangement is provided for detecting the stripe pattern, which is made up of a plurality of detector elements of different phases, arranged one after another, that generate output signals having a phase shift represented by those phases, the arrangement of detector elements of different phases one after another forming a periodic pattern, and each of the detector elements being assigned exactly one region of the scanning structure referred to as a bar, and the detector elements being combined to form two detector groups such that at least detector elements of the same phase belong to the same detector group, and the detector elements within one detector group being interconnected for generating a detector signal. The bars of the scanning structure are formed and arranged such that the totality of the bars assigned to the first detector group and the totality of the bars assigned to the second detector group in each case cover an active area of equal size on the carrier of the scanning structure. The area center of gravity of the area covered by the totality of the bars assigned to the first detector group on one hand, and the area center of gravity of the area covered by the totality of the bars assigned to the second detector group on the other hand coincide.
Abstract:
A positioning device includes a swiveling shaft, at one end of which an element to be positioned may be attached, a swivel drive, made up of a rotor, which is movable relative to a stator, a position measuring device, made up of two parts movable relative to each other, and a roller bearing, which includes several rolling elements. The rotor of the swivel drive and a first part of the position measuring device are connected to the shaft in a rotatably fixed manner. The rolling elements are made of a ceramic material.
Abstract:
An angle-measuring device including a first component group and a second component group, the component groups being disposed in a manner allowing rotation relative to each other by a bearing. The first component group includes a housing having a connecting device, as well as a scanning unit. The second component group includes a shaft to which a code disk is attached, and a flow channel having a directional component parallel to the axis. The angle-measuring device is configured such that a negative pressure is able to be applied to the connecting device, so that a fluid surrounding the angle-measuring device with a pressure flows through the angle-measuring device to remove contaminants by suction. At the applied negative pressure, a first mass flow of the fluid which flows through the flow channel is greater than a second mass flow which flows through the bearing gap.
Abstract:
A voice-coil motor includes a stator and a rotor, which is pivoted about a swivel axis, with respect to the stator. The rotor and/or the stator has a printed circuit board that includes at least one circuit-board conductor, and the at least one circuit-board conductor is arranged such that it forms at least one coil unit in a plane, the at least one coil unit including several circuit traces. Within one coil unit, more than two circuit traces have a section, in which the specific circuit trace is oriented in the direction of the swivel axis.

Abstract:
A positioning device includes a housing and a shaft that is able to swivel relative to the housing and at one end of which an element to be positioned is attachable. The positioning device further includes a roller-bearing unit for supporting the shaft with respect to the housing, a swivel drive and a position-measuring device. The shaft is arranged in a manner that it is torsionally stiff, but axially movable relative to the housing via a ring diaphragm secured to the roller-bearing unit and to the housing.
Abstract:
A positioning device includes a housing and a shaft that is able to be swiveled about a centrical position relative to the housing, at whose one end an element that is to be positioned is attachable. Furthermore, the positioning device has a swivel drive and a position measuring device. A cable, for the electrical connection of swivelable parts in the positioning device to a stationary unit, has a spiral-shaped course leading radially outwardly, starting from the shaft that is located in the centrical position.
