Product Description
The model RG optical shaft encoder features rugged construction and flexible mechanical configurations making it ideally suited for many industrial shop-floor environments. Output pulses are generated when a shatter-proof optical disk internally mounted on the encoder shaft and having the specified output pattern is read by 1, 2, or 3 opto-sensors depending on the number of outputs required. The matched LED and opto-sensor pairs, compensation circuitry and rugged aluminum housing assure continuous, reliable operation in industrial environments over a 0° to 70° C temperature range.
The electrical outputs are designed to be compatible with most instruments, electronic counters, PLC's and other similar industrial motion control devices. Optional differential line driver outputs allow for longer cable runs (hundreds of feet) and higher electrical noise immunity.
