Encoders

In order to support twenty first century OEM's in their determination to maintain a competitive edge we have developed an extensive range of single and dual channel encoders. Both options are available across the major part of the range of dc motors and gearboxes and represent the most cost effective answer to the need for feedback.

Datasheet for Dual Channel encoder | Datasheet for Single Channel encoder


dual channel encoder  

The dual channel incremental encoder is an optical device giving 48 line quadrature output per rev of the motor and 192 positions per rev with signal processing. Operating from a standard 5 volt supply to directly drive TTL and CMOS logic. Available in two forms, mounted on a motor with rear shaft or mounted between the motor and the gearbox (allowing the customer to select a standard motor).

The single channel incremental encoder is a magnetic device giving 24 pulses per motor rev. operating from a supply of 3.8 to 30.0 volts. Ideal for use when interfacing with TTL and CMOS devices, this product offers a very cost effective answer to the customer's feedback requirement when used in conjunction with brushed dc motors and gearboxes.

Customers should be aware of the opportunity of using the dual channel encoder in conjunction with our programmable controller Red Drive Red Drive. This unique combination when used with the widest range of motor/ gearboxes offers the real opportunity of low cost servo systems.
