What is the MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) for RM/RE encoders?!

Changchun Rongde Optics Co.,Ltd.   Release time:2016/3/3   Browse:1189


Encoder system reliability

MTTF (M) = p × t / n

where

p

installed population of readheads

 

t

average length of service

 

n

total relevant failures


From our records (yearly production figures and failure data), readhead MTTF in continuous use is 750 years.

As a practical example, if a customer has 50 machines each containing 2 encoders, the installed readhead population (p) is 100. The mean interval (t) between any readhead failure (i.e. n = 1) may be calculated by rearranging the MTTF formula:

t

=

M × n / p

=

750 years × 1/100

=

approximately 7.5 years

Therefore with a total of 100 readheads running 24 hours per day, this customer could expect a single readhead failure approximately once every 7.5 years.
