S. Du et Rb. Randall, ENCODER ERROR ANALYSIS IN GEAR TRANSMISSION ERROR MEASUREMENT, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part C, Journal of mechanical engineering science, 212(4), 1998, pp. 277-285
This paper investigates encoder measurements error and introduces a me
thod of reducing or cancelling the encoder error from gear transmissio
n error signals. The time domain and frequency domain analysis of the
combined encoder error signals has been carried out to show the validi
ty of the method. This method could be useful where the error of lower
cost encoders is larger and undocumented and where there is limited s
pace and only a smaller and less accurate encoder will fit.
