Rotary Motion Position-Measuring Transmitters

Shown with Wheel and Mounting Bracket (Both Sold Separately)

Provide motion feedback to counters, controllers, and motor drives for automated motion control and measurement applications. Also known as encoders, transmitters convert rotary motion to an electrical signal so you can operate your system based on distance, direction, and speed of travel. Transmitters have Pull-Up Resistor output.

Use a flexible shaft coupling (not included) to connect the transmitter shaft to a drive shaft.

Mount a wheel (not included) to use transmitters to measure lengths.

Use cables (not included) to connect transmitters to counters and controllers.

Transmitters with a quadrature output channel must be used with a controller that has quadrature detection to get a 4X resolution increase.
