Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for upgrading the processing accuracy of a code plate arranged with a code zone consisting of plural photodetectors in a circular shape by fixing said code plate, providing optical fibers to a revolving shaft, and irradiating the light from a light emitting element on the code zone. CONSTITUTION:A code plate 1 is arranged with plural photodetectors consisting of a photodiode array or the like in a circular shape as a code zone on a printed circuit board 2. A revolving shaft 5 is supported by means of a bearing 6, and is fixed with an arm 7. A light emitting element 10 is provided on the board 2. Optical fibers 11 are mounted to an arm 7, and the one end of each fiber 11 faces optically to the element 10. The other ends face optically to the photodetectors 3, 3. Arrangement is so made that the light from the element 10 is irradiated onto the code zone. The code plate and the revolving shaft are mechanically isolated from each other and are therefore simple in constitution. Since the optical fibers have flexibility, the adjustment after assembly is easy.
