Optical Encoders

Optical encoders

use a continuous infrared light source transmitting through a low-inertia multi-section rotor disk which is fitted directly on the motor rear end shaft. The unit thus generates two output signals with a 90º phase shift.

Benefits:

• Very low current consumption
• Previse signal resolution
• Ideal for low voltage battery operation
• Insensitive to magnetic interference
• Extremely light and compact
