Note: Items typically ship in 3 to 10 days from receipt of order. If you need it faster, please contact us via phone to place your order.

The model R21 is an optical shaft encoder in a 2" diameter x 1-7/8" (Ø51mm x 48mm) housing with an integral mounting arm, compatible with a variety of mounting accessories for installation either above or below a moving web or conveyor. When used with the MW-8 (8.00" circumference) or MW-20 (20.00cm circumference) measuring wheel it can accurately track the web or conveyor to within ±.007" or ±.016cm per revolution. This is not a light duty encoder - it was built with heavy duty bearings and solid construction for reliable, long-term operation in continuous duty applications. During installation various features, such as the number of pulses per revolution, can be selected by setting configuration switches. The available features depend on the encoder model.

Call or visit our website for details about currently available programs, and to inquire about new features to meet your specific application needs.

Features and Options:

  • Integrated mounting arm
  • Economical single measuring wheel
  • Unbreakable code disk
  • Various programmable features
  • Heavy duty bearings
  • USAMade in the USA
