The BlueCoder model RBH is an optical incremental encoder that use the benefits of blue LED light. It is housed in a 3" diameter x 2-3/8 long ultra rugged enclosure 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-1 (12.00" circumference) or MW-30 (30.00cm circumference) measuring wheel it can accurately track the web or conveyor to within ±.007" or ±.016cm per revolution. Solid construction and heavy duty bearings make this encoder a great choice for long-term operation in continuous duty applications.
