General Purpose and Heavy Duty

The model RL rotary shaft encoder 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, 6, or 10 pin connector on the side.

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