With an acceptable minimum shaft length of .236" and maximum shaft length of .305". Shaft sizes ranging from .059" to .079" in diameter, the ENC-A16S is a single-ended micro optical encoder designed to provide A, B and Index digital quadrature signals for high volume applications with limited space. The ENC-A16S module is designed to detect the rotary position with a code wheel. When attached to the end of a shaft, the encoder provides digital feedback information for motion control applications that require position, speed and/or direction control. Due to the A16's design, it is recommended for use as a onetime installation. These modules implement phased array detector technology providing superior performance and tolerances over traditional aperture mask type encoders. The ENC-A16S series provides digital quadrature outputs on all resolutions and are capable of sinking or sourcing 18 mA each. These encoders are powered from a single +5VDC power supply and are RoHS compliant.
