Encoder having an overmolded cover, encoder system with an encoder having an overmolded cover, and method for manufacturing an encoder having an overmolded cover

摘要

An encoder includes a rotor including: a shaft and a code disk attached to the shaft; a stator including a scanning unit configured to generate an electrical signal corresponding to an angular position of the code disk; a cable configured to transfer the electrical signal; and a cover overmolded onto the stator, where the scanning unit is sealed from an outer environment by the cover.
