8460 Angle Encoder

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Gurley Series 8460 is a high-resolution rotary angle encoder designed for industrial metrology applications. It features robust construction with stainless steel for enhanced resistance to shock and vibration, making it suitable for precise positioning in various industrial devices.
Specifications:
  • Model Variants: 8460H (hollow shaft) and 8460S (solid shaft).
  • Input Power: +5 VDC ± 5%, 150 mA max.
  • Available Line Counts: 18,000 and 36,000.
  • Output Waveforms: Quadrature square waves with RS-422 differential line drivers.
  • Accuracy: ±2.5 arcsec at 20°C.
  • Maximum Output Frequency: 160 - 2000 kHz, depending on interpolation.
  • Protection Level: IP64.
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C.
  • Maximum Mechanical Speed: ≤1000 RPM.
Key Features:
  • Incorporates four reading heads to minimize encoder errors.
  • Internal ASIC for generating quadrature square waves up to 50 times the line count.
  • Interchangeable with common competitive products.
Usage Recommendations: To ensure accurate counting during 4X quadrature evaluation, the user's counter or input circuit must detect quadrature edges as close as 50 nanoseconds, corresponding to a 20 MHz count rate.
Ordering Information: The encoder can be customized with various options such as interpolation factors, connector types, shaft diameters, and cable lengths. Special capabilities include higher frequency response, greater accuracy, and custom designs for specific applications.
Warranty: Gurley Precision Instruments offers a one-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship from the date of shipment.

8460 Angle Encoder-1

Gurley Series 8460 Angle Encoder Motion Type: Rotary Usage Grade: Industrial Metrology Output: Incremental Max Resolution: 0.000078° (0.28 arcsec) Very High Resolution - Industrial Ruggedness The Series 8460 is a robust metrology-grade encoder that is equally well-suited for industrial applications. It incorporates four reading heads to eliminate many common sources of encoder errors, while its stainless steel construction greatly enhances resistance to shock and vibration. It is designed for very precise positioning of rotary tables on machine tools, coordinate measuring machines, dividing apparatus, antennas, test equipment and similar devices. The 8460 incorporates an internal ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) to generate quadrature square waves up to 50 times the line count on the disc. The 8460 is available in both shafted and hollow shaft versions, and is interchangeable with common competitive products. Gurley Precision Instruments 514 Fulton Street Troy, NY 12180 U.S.A.
