Overview / Design Principle:
A pre-wired cable or terminal screw connections are included with either servo clip or face mounting options.

Its bidirectional and optional marker pulse, current sink or differential line driver outputs are compatible with most electronic counters, instruments, PLC’s, robot controls, CNC’s, and industrial computers. The EC23 is mechanically interchangeable with the all popular Size 23 encoders.

Features and Benefits:

Mechanical / Environmental Features

• 1/4" stainless steel shaft
• Low inertia, low starting torque
• Up to 10,000 RPM
• 0 to 70°C operating range
• Outline dimensions: 2.3" Dia. x 1.65" L.

Electrical Features

• Shielded cable or terminal screw options
• 3,000 to 5,000 pulses per revolution
• Bidirectional outputs and gated marker available
• 250 kHz frequency response
• 5-26 VDC supply voltage
• Single LED light source

Applications:
The Series EC23 is a high resolution, optical incremental encoder designed for light industrial and commercial applications. A standard Size 23 (2.3" dia.), the EC23 is ideal for machine and equipment designs with limited space and high performance requirements.

Typical Applications:

• Motor-mounted feedback for servo systems
• Assembly machines
• Robotics and material handling
• Printers, X/Y plotters, and phototypesetters
• Semiconductor I.C. bonders
• Medical diagnostic equipment (X-ray & CAT scanners)
• Position and/or velocity input for CNC’s, PLC’s, motion controllers, etc.
