Slide one of these transmitters onto a motor shaft in your application—they have a flexible mounting plate that compensates for shaft misalignment and vibration. Also known as encoders, these miniature transmitters convert rotary motion to an electrical signal that indicates distance, direction, and speed of travel. They're often used to automate servomotors, robotics, and assembly machines.

Transmitters have NPN Open Collector output that requires a pull-up resistor (not included) for operation. Output channel Z is also known as an index channel. You must use transmitters with a controller that has quadrature detection to get a 4X resolution increase. All meet IP64 for protection from dust and water spray.

In addition to a transmitter, these kits include a 6 1/2-ft. cable and a mounting bracket. Also known as encoders, transmitters convert motion to an electrical signal to indicate distance, direction, and speed in process control and metering applications. These kits are commonly used to monitor the position or velocity of rotating equipment. You can also mount a wheel (not included) to measure distance in linear applications. Transmitters must be used with a controller that has quadrature detection to get a 4X resolution increase. Output channel Z is also known as an index channel. Transmitters meet IP50 for protection from dust.

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