E6 Optical Kit Encoder

Product catalog summary
Overview: The E6 Series rotary encoder is an optical incremental encoder designed for easy mounting and dismounting on existing shafts to provide digital feedback. It features a molded polycarbonate construction with options for 5-pin or 10-pin latching connectors.
Components: The encoder consists of five main components: base, cover, hubdisk, optical encoder module, and an internal differential line driver (for differential versions).
Versions: There are single-ended (S-option) and differential (D-option) output versions. The single-ended version is suitable for cable lengths up to 10 feet, while the differential version is recommended for longer cables.
Construction: The base and cover are made from 20% glass-filled polycarbonate. The base can be attached using various machine screw bolt circle options, and a centering tool ensures proper alignment. The cover is secured with flat head screws.
Internal Components: Includes a mylar disk on an aluminum hub and an encoder module with a solid-state light source and phased array sensor, providing tolerance to mechanical misalignments.
Features: The encoder supports quick assembly, rugged housing, positive latching connectors, and accommodates axial shaft play. It offers 64 to 10000 counts per revolution (CPR) and fits shaft diameters from 2mm to 1".
Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature ranges from -40 to 100°C for CPR < 3600 and -25 to 100°C for CPR ≥ 3600. It withstands vibrations up to 20 G and electrostatic discharge of ±4 kV.
Mechanical Specifications: Includes parameters like max shaft axial play, eccentricity, acceleration, RPM limits based on CPR, and torque specifications for various components.
Electrical Specifications: Details supply voltage, current, output levels, and rise/fall times for both single-ended and differential versions.
Options and Accessories: Various options like index pulse, cover extensions, mounting adapters, and transfer adhesive are available. Accessories include centering tools, hex tools, spacer tools, and screws.
Compatibility: The E6 encoder can replace certain Avago encoders with compatible pin-outs and requires specific cables for full compatibility.
Ordering Information: Includes details on CPR, bore sizes, index options, output types, cover and base options, and packaging configurations.
Warranty: US Digital provides a two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

E6 Optical Kit Encoder-1

Optical Kit EncoderPage 1 of 11 The E6 Series rotary encoder has a molded polycarbonate which utilizes either a 5-pin or 10-pin latching connector. This optical incremental encoder is designed to easily mount to and dismount from an existing shaft to provide digital feedback information. The E6 Series is easy to add to existing applications and only consists of five main components; base, cover, hubdisk, optical encoder module and internal differential line driver (differential version only). The single-ended output version (S-option) is typically used with cables of 10 feet or less. For longer cable lengths, the differential output version (D-option) is recommended. The base and cover are both constructed of a rugged 20% glass filled polycarbonate. Attachment of the base to a surface may be accomplished by utilizing one of several machine screw bolt circle options. Positioning of the base to the centerline of a shaft is ensured by use of a centering tool (sold separately). The cover is securely attached to the base with two 4-40 flat head screws to provide a resilient package protecting the internal components. The internal components consist of a mylar disk mounted to a precision machined aluminum hub and an encoder module. The module consists of a highly collimated solid state light source and monolithic phased array sensor, which together provide a system extremely tolerant to mechanical misalignments. A secure connection to the E6 Series encoder is made through a 5-pin (single-ended versions) or 10-pin (differential versions) latching connector (sold separately). The mating connectors are available from US Digital with several cable options and lengths. Features ► Quick, simple assembly and disassembly ► Rugged screw-together housing ► Positive latching connector ► Accepts .010" axial shaft play ► 64- 10000 CPR ► 2 channel quadrature TTL squarewave outputs ► Optional index (3rd channel) ► Fits shaft diameters from 2mm to 1" DIGITAL Vancouver, Washington 98684, USA www.usdigital.com Toll-free: 800.736.0194
