Optical incremental encoder OPTS as kit encoder

Kit encoder for precise position measurement in application-specific shaft designs

The OPTS series is a high-resolution optical incremental encoder that is mounted directly on the shaft of the application as a kit encoder. The encoders offer precise optical detection of rotary movements with a resolution of up to 10,000 pulses per second. The small housing depth of just 12.6 mm enables use in applications with limited installation space.
The kit encoder can be installed quickly and precisely thanks to a mounting tool supplied. It is suitable for shafts with diameters from 2 mm to 25 mm. For longer shafts, an optional circular housing cut-out is available at the rear.
Signals are transmitted via TTL-compatible output signals that can be processed directly by control systems. Two channels (A and B) enable the direction of rotation to be recognised, while the optional reference pulse (Z) can be used for zero point calibration, position determination and signal verification.
Thanks to the radial connection design, the OP rotary encoder can be easily integrated with Molex connectors or solder pins. With a temperature range of -25 to +100 °C, it is also suitable for demanding operating conditions.
