  • Encoders +


    C Encoder
    The C & D high performance incremental encoders are transmissive devices with motor commutation outputs, integrated bearing and isolating spring mount. These encoders are identical to the Q and V encoders except for the additional motor commutation signals.

    Features:
    • U V W motor phase commutation signals
    • Resolutions from 1000 to 5000
    • Differential line driver is standard
    • Frequency response to 500 kHz
    • Rugged mechanical design
    • Good for higher temperature
    • Shielded cable
