With free cable end, the SKF Motor Encoder Unit BMB-6202/032S2/UA002A (marked as ITALY SKF 6202/VK2415) is suited for AC induction motors with 15 mm shaft diameter, typically used as speed encoder of AC motors, adopted by forklift makers XILIN, HELI, HANGCHA, MIMA and Tailift etc.

SKF motor encoder units use a compact and robust sensor that produces an incremental encoder signal. The sensor is accurate down to zero r/min. An integrated active circuit (requiring an external voltage supply) in the sensor body contains two Hall effect cells that produce an output signal consisting of two square waves.

The signals can be interpreted by motor controllers in different ways:

The two square waves are 90° out of phase with each other. This phase shift changes sign with the direction of rotation. The presence of two signals in quadrature enables a processing unit to multiply the number of angular position increments per revolution. For example, using a standard SKF sensor bearing with 64 pulses per revolution and a standard electronic interface that can detect the rising (Low/High) and falling (High/Low) times of each of the two signals, it is possible to obtain 256 electrical events per revolution, which translates to an angular resolution of 1,4°.

SKF motor encoder units provide accurate and reliable signals for effective motor control and are 100% tested for period accuracy, duty cycle and phase shift during manufacture.
