Digital Shaft Encoder.

Abstract

This report documents the design, test, and development of a high temperature digital rotary position transducer. Use of magnetic sensors in this shaft encoder eliminates the need for brushes or light sources to create the eight-bit digital output signal. Included in the project was environmental testing and on-engine operation. A digital electronic readout instrument was built to aid circuit development and testing. The simple construction of the encoder makes this device well suited for aircraft engine applications. (Author)
