Abstract: A method for calibrating a rotary encoder for capturing rotational angle position of a machine shaft. The rotary encoder includes an exciter unit which is rotationally fixed to the machine shaft, and a stationary sensor unit which interacts therewith. The method includes rotating the machine shaft to perform a rotational movement at a predefined rotational speed at a first sensor temperature, capturing a first position measured value at a first predefined rotational angle position at the first sensor temperature, heating or cooling the sensor unit to a second sensor temperature, capturing a second position measured value at the first predefined rotational angle position at the second sensor temperature, determining a first deviation between at least the second position measured value and a first desired position measured value, and correcting an output signal from the rotary encoder via the first deviation.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a rotary encoder for measuring a rotary angle position of a machine shaft. The method includes rotating a machine shaft; measuring a start measuring point with a sensor unit; activating a timer module to measure a time value; measuring an intermediate measuring point with the sensor unit; storing the actual rotary angle position of the intermediate measuring point and the time value associated therewith; measuring an end measuring point with the sensor unit; recording a time value incremented by the timer module which reflects a runtime for a rotary motion of the start to the end measuring point; calculating at least one time-dependent reference rotary angle position; calculating a deviation between the actual rotary angle position measured and the at least one time-dependent reference rotary angle position calculated for at least one time value; and correcting an output signal from the rotary encoder via the deviation.
