Compact Encoder from BEI

By Kathleen Zipp | April 24, 2007

Share

BEI’s compact L15 incremental encoder measures 1.5 in. in diameter and gives up to 40,640 cycles per turn. Internal, electric multiplication increases output resolution up to 16 times without degrading overall encoder accuracy. By using the standard quadrature detection option available on most PLC’s, counters, and controllers, a maximum of 162,560 counts is available.

Ideal applications for this high resolution, compact encoder include semiconductor fabrication and industrial robotics.

It has a 15 servo-mount style package, 1/4 in. diameter stainless steel shaft, and can handle up to 5 pounds radial or axial load. The encoder package has field-proven ASIC electronics, sealed dual bearings, and BEI’s accurate code disk in an all metal housing.
