RL-P Programmable Encoder

and HRL hollow shaft encoder

User Selectable Pulses per Revolution

The RL-P rotary shaft encoder directly couples to a rotating shaft and produces a specified number of square wave output pulses per revolution of the shaft. The number of pulses per revolution is determined by setting configuration switches accessible through an access port near the connector. Any one of a predefined set of pulses per revolution are available.

It comes with a 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 8mm, 10mm, or 3/8-16 or 1/4-20 threaded shaft for heavy duty applications where a face mounted encoder is required. The rugged 3" diameter by 2-3/8" deep enclosure is constructed of 1/4" thick aluminum with a 5 or 6 pin connector on the side.

Metric bolt holes are available - see M96 and M105 modifications below.
