VDI/VDE/DKD 2648 – Part 1
Sensors and measuring systems for rotation angle measurement – Instructions for traceable calibration – Directly measuring rotation angle measuring systems
This standard describes the calibration of angle encoders where the rotation angle is measured directly along the axis of rotation. It considers influencing factors quantities, calibration methods, measurement uncertainty, and the required content of calibration certificates. Typical methods include angular coding, incremental methods, and methods based on proportional measurands.
The standard applies to users and manufacturers of angle encoders as well as calibration laboratories and calibration service providers.
