Overview / Design Principle:
Dual shafts and measuring wheels are recommended for better parallel tracking in measuring applications.

Series 60 Rotopulser encoders are available with line driver outputs for applications with longer cabling requirements (hundreds of feet) and/or higher signal noise immunity.

Features and Benefits:

Mechanical / Environmental Features

• Heavy-duty 1/2" single and dual shafts available
• Rugged mylar or photoplast discs (no glass discs)
• Up to 3600 RPM
• 0 - 54° C operating range
• Precision machined die-cast aluminum housing with optional shaft seals
• Extra wide bearing span with precision ball bearings front and rear

Electrical Features

• Up to 2500 pulses/rev.
• LED light source for long-term reliability and trouble-free operation
• Built-in low impedence amplifier for driving long lines
• Switches from line-to-line for current sourcing and sinking
• Up to 50 kHz electronic operating speeds

Applications:

The Series 60 is a rugged, incremental, optical encoder for speed, position, and motion applications. The standard mechanical size 35 package is designed for high resolution applications and rugged industrial environments.
