The invention discloses a sensor, and particularly relates to a non-contact annular magnetoelectric
rotary encoder. The
encoder comprises an annular
encoder main body I, and an acquisition head II which is arranged correspondingly to the annular
encoder body I, wherein a clearance is formed between the annular encoder main body I and the acquisition head II, the annular encoder main body I comprises a bearing ring body, a magnetic ring stuck and sleeved on the upper edge part of the bearing body, and a protecting cover arranged outside the bearing ring body and the magnetic ring and playing a role of protecting the magnetic ring; and a magnetic induction
chip is arranged in the acquisition head II. The magnetoelectric principle is adopted by the encoder; the defects of easiness in
cracking of a code disc, high requirement on precision, complex mechanical structure, complex mounting and adjusting process and the like of the traditional photoelectric encoder are overcome; the generation, the receiving and the
processing of a
signal are realized by selecting and using a magnetoelectric integrated
chip; the complex debugging process of the traditional photoelectric encoder is omitted; the production efficiency and the performance of products are greatly improved; and the non-contact annular magnetoelectric
rotary encoder which is small in size, high in reliability, resistant in vibration, high in
frequency response, low in cost, high in precision, low in error and long in service life is provided.
