Gurley LP20 SeriesEncoders Modular Incremental

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Gurley LP20 Series modular incremental encoders, which are designed for rotary motion applications. These encoders are known for their modular construction, offering friction-free operation and flexibility in design due to a variety of disc sizes.
Key Features:
  • Low profile read head design suitable for limited space environments.
  • Compatibility with vacuum environments, making them ideal for semiconductor and aerospace applications.
  • Availability of data (A-quad-B), index, and commutation tracks.
  • Minimal installation adjustments required by the customer.
  • Optional radiation-tolerant versions available.
Specifications:
  • Electrical: Input power of +5VDC, 0.25 VDC@ 10 mA, with a maximum current of +50mA. Uses screened and derated infra-red LED as the light source.
  • Mechanical: Encoder body made of aluminum or stainless steel with a vacuum-deposited chrome pattern on glass discs.
  • Performance: Frequency response and quadrature error depend on user installation, with typical values provided.
  • Environmental: Operating temperature range from +5°C to +25°C, and non-operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C. Shock resistance of 20g RMS, 60G peak.
Standard Systems: Two standard systems are available:
  • 80mm OD x 30mm ID with 2,048 lines or 8,192 counts after quadrature.
  • 158mm OD x 103mm ID with 8,192 lines or 32,768 counts after quadrature.
Drawings and Options: The document includes detailed drawings of standard disc/hub options and emphasizes the importance of consulting with Gurley for proper design and mounting of the disc/hub assembly.
Special Capabilities: Gurley offers customization for higher frequency response, greater accuracy, wider temperature range, reduced torque, and non-standard line counts. They also design custom encoders for specific user requirements.
Warranty: A limited warranty is provided against defects in material and workmanship for one year from the date of shipment.
Ordering Information: Detailed ordering information is provided, including standard line counts and options for customization.
