RG Shaft Encoder

Optic Shaft Encoder RG Series
RG - General Purpose and Economical

A 2.25" diameter incremental encoder with three 6-32 x .25" deep mounting holes on a 1.75" diameter bolt circle. The enclosure is 1.75" long when equipped with an attached 10 ft. (3 meter) cable, or 3" long with a connector.

Standard Features and Options:
•  Short-Circuit and ESD protection are available on allm odesl with the anti-jitter option, and many other (please inquire)
•  Surge protection available
•  CE Marked (specific models only and requires end or side connector)
•  10-foot / 3-meter attached cable is included at no extra charge.
