The ultimate optical encoder
The world's most compact and adaptable optical encoder is now available from EAO
The 62S has a 13 x 14mm cross-section and has a behind-panel depth of just 7.4mm, the smallest of any Grayhill encoder.
Small but packed with features, it is a versatile encoder offering a wide range of options including a choice of low, medium and high torque settings; five actuation forces; 8-32 detented positions or no detent at all.
The range of settings provides a high level of positive tactile feedback.
The robust stainless steel and Zamac construction means it will operate through one million cycles within a thermal range of -40 to +60C.
The 62S has a 2bit quadrature coded output.
It is available with either PCB or cable terminations.
The integral pushbutton makes the 62S particularly well suited to scroll-and-enter data input applications including GPS navigation systems, test and measurement equipment, medical devices and industrial controls.
In many user interface applications, rotary optical encoders provide the most versatile and economical means to obtain feedback signals for position and speed control. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
