Turn The Screws!

Open your eyes, look in front, look at the back, look at any angle and you will see something that is an engineer's creation.

Engineers have been making things possible that others could only imagine. It perfectly makes sense to have a common place for engineers from around the world where they can share ideas, innovate, & help each other. Engineers are eternal, with the younger at 62 & the youngest at 17, the CEan gang consists of working professionals, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, professors, geeks & nerds.

Default Encoder Scale

I'm still having some trouble understanding the scale that my encoder uses. The datasheet for the encoder is found at this website: http://test.maxonmotor.com/docsx/Dow...f/05_235_e.pdf
The datasheet for the motor I'm using is found here http://test.maxonmotor.com/docsx/Dow...f/08_104_e.pdf I'm using a 7.2V voltage source. At full speed the encoder gave an output with a frequency of 2.5 kHz. This doesn't seem to make sense to me. At full speed it seems like it should be running at around 10k rpm. The encoder says 32 counts per turn. Is that the same thing as 32 pulses per revolution? Can someone just give me a brief explanation on how to interpret the data sheet for the encoder? Thanks.
