PURPOSE:To form a small photoelectric encoder having high resolving power, by applying the theory of a phase modulation detecting system. CONSTITUTION:A light receiving disc 5 eccentric to the revolving center of a rotary shaft 10 is secured to the end part of the rotary shaft 10 protruded into an enclosure 20 through a holding disc 11 and rectangular light emitters 1-4 are fixed to the inner surface of the front wall of the enclosure 20 at the positions of mechanical angles alpha1-alpha4 appropriately selected relative to different quadrants on the circumference of a circle concentric to the shaft 10. Therefore, the opposed areas of the light emitters 1-4 and the light receiving disc 5 are changed corresponding to the revolving angle of the shaft 10 and the light emitters 1-4 are lighted and controlled by sine wave drive signals of respective phase angles alpha1-alpha4 from a lighting control part 30. By this mechanism, the sinthesized light amount in the light receiving disc 5 has phase-shift corresponding to the revolving angle of the rotary shaft. By this method, a small photoelectric type rotary encoder having high resolving power can be formed. |
