The application relates to the technical field of electric actuators, in particular to an
absolute positioning method for an electric
actuator, which solves the problems that the photoelectric
encoder with zero point in the prior art needs to be powered to find zero, the absolute photoelectric
encoder is constrained by the size of the electric
actuator, the positioning resolution is not high, and the cost is relatively high; and the magnetic
encoder is similar to the photoelectric encoder and belongs to a non-
contact position sensor, and does not have the problem of abrasion. The
absolute positioning method for the electric
actuator comprises the cooperation of a relative photoelectric encoder and a high-line digital code disc, two relative encoder reading heads, and encoding relative code tracks, and the relative encoder reading heads and the encoding relative code tracks are used to acquire position increment information; two
absolute zero point reading heads are used in cooperation, and the absolute position information is acquired through the characteristic code of the
absolute zero point code track. The application realizes the above-mentioned high-precision
absolute positioning by manufacturing a specific code disc and adding a power-off saving related circuit, and has the advantages of long service life, high precision, low temperature drift, compact structure and low cost.
