摘要： A photoelectric encoder is provided, which emits light from a light source to a main scale and an index scale that can relatively move with respect to each other and obtains a light-receiving signal by interaction between the main scale and the index scale. The photoelectric encoder uses as the light source an incoherent semiconductor light source (white LED) in which a full width at half maximum of an emission spectrum is wider than that of a monochromatic semiconductor light source. Thus, it is possible to reduce an effect of a gap change on an output signal of the encoder and make positional adjustment easier, thereby improving misalignment characteristics.

摘要： A three-grating type photoelectric encoder includes a second grating formed on a scale and first and third gratings disposed on a side of a detector. A part of at least the first grating is shifted in a direction of a measurement axis by P/(2n) (wherein P is a grating pitch, n is the order of a harmonic component to be removed) in order to remove a harmonic component of the nth order. This encoder can be improved with high accuracy by removing harmonic components without increasing manufacturing costs.
