RS Shaft Encoder

Shaft Encoder RS Series - Optic Shaft Encoder
RS Standard 2-1/4" Cube Style Encoder

A 2-1/4" cube incremental encoder with four 6-32 x 1/4" deep mounting holes on a 2" diameter bolt circle located on both ends and the bottom. The enclosure is constructed of 1/8" minimum thick aluminum with a connector and single or double ended shaft. This model is compatible with most cube style encoders on the market.It is available with 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", or 1/2" shaft diameters. Heavy duty bearings are available with up to 3/8" single ended shaft (see M182 option).

Standard Features and Options:
•  1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2" Shaft Diameters
•  Double ended shaft option
•  Hollow Shaft Available (see model HRS)
•  Programmable model availabe (see model RS-P)
•  Exclusive "Anti-Jitter" circuit for conveyor applications
•  Single (A), Quadrature (A,B) and Index (Z) outputs
•  Dual or Triple output Models with different pulses per revolution on each output (A, B, C)
•  Short ciruit / ESD protection on most models.
•  Custom Model Available

  • Pulse Range: 0 - 30 kHz

    • Current sourcing PNP withpull-down resistor* (50 ma max)
    • RS422 differential line driver (requires 5, 5R, or 8-30 supply)

  • Output Waveshape: Square wave; output A, B, and C are 50/50 duty cycle nominal; output Z (index output) is approximately the width of one cycle on outputs A or B.
    • Pulse symmetry: 180° ± 30%
    • Pulse interval jitter: 30% max
    • Quadrature: 90° ± 30% max
    • Phase jitter: 30% max
  • Anit-Jitter: Increases the pulse hysteresis to 1/2 of a pulse width, eliminating the effects of mechanical vibration and the possible dither that results in false output pulses. For example a 10 pulse per revolution output would have 18° hysteresis (i.e 360° ÷ 10 x 1/2).
