R20 Shaft Encoder

Optic Shaft Encoder R20 Series
Series 20 with Heavy Duty Bearings

The model R20 is an optical shaft encoder in a 2" diameter x 1-3/4" long housing that can be face mounted using three 6-32 x .25" deep mounting holes on a 1.75" diameter bolt circle. The shaft is up to 3/8" diameter, either single or double ended. Electrical connection is through a 16mm circular connector or an attached cable.

Standard Features and Options:
•  3/8" diameter shaft
•  Unbreakable code disk
•  Up to 1200 pulses per revolution
•  Attached cable or optional connector
•  Heavy Duty bearings
•  Short circuit and ESD protected

ELECTRICAL 

  • Supply Voltages: (specify when ordering)
              5 VDC or 8-30 VDC
  • Current: 500 mA max (no load)
              100 mA max (line driver)
  • Pulse Rate: 0 - 30 kHz
  • Pulses per Revolution: (specify when ordering)
              1 to 1200
  • Operating Temperature: 0° to 70° C
  • Output Circuit: (specify when ordering)  
    Output voltage level is approximately the same as the input voltage level.
    • Single Ended:
      • 7273 open collector (30 VDC max, 50 mA max)
      • 7272 Push-Pull (50 mA max source or sink)
    • Differential Line Driver:
    • 7272 differential line driver (also with optional 5vdc output level)
  • Output Waveshape: 
    Square wave outputs A and B are 50/50 duty cycle nominal. Output Z (index output) is approximately the width of one cycle on outputs A or B. Output A leads by 90 for clockwise rotation when viewed from shaft end.
  • Pulse symmetry: 180° +/- 30%
  • Pulse interval jitter: 30% max
  • Quadrature: 90° +/- 30% max
  • Phase jitter: 30% max
  • Anti-jitter: (single output models only)
    Increases the pluse hysteresis to 1/2 of a pulse width, eliminating the effects of mechanical vibration and possible false output pulses. For example a 10 pulse per revolution output has 18° hysteresis (i.e. 360° ÷ 10 X 1/2).
