The E2 is a rotary encoder with a rugged glass-filled polymer enclosure, which utilizes either a 5-pin locking or standard connector. The internal components consist of a mylar disk mounted to a precision machined aluminum hub and an encoder module. The module contains a highly collimated solid state light source and monolithic phased array sensor, which together provide a system extremely tolerant to mechanical misalignments.
The E2 is normally designed for applications of 10 feet or less. For longer cable lengths, adding a PC4 / PC5 differential line driver is recommended.
Attachment of the base to a surface may be accomplished by utilizing one of several machine screw bolt circle options. Positioning of the base to the centerline of a shaft is ensured by the use of our centering tool. The cover is securely attached to the base with two 4-40 panhead screws to provide a resilient package protecting the internal components.
