Product catalog summary
Overview: The S2 series high-resolution optical shaft encoder is a non-contacting rotary to digital converter designed for position feedback or manual interface. It converts shaft angle, speed, and direction into TTL-compatible quadrature outputs and operates from a single +5VDC supply. The S2 is suitable for existing designs, while the S6 is recommended for new projects.
Specifications: The encoder offers 2-channel quadrature outputs with an optional 3rd channel index. It supports 64 to 10000 CPR (256 to 40000 PPR) and can track up to 10,000 RPM with the ball bearing option. It operates within a wide temperature range and requires a single +5V supply.
Mechanical Details: The S2 encoder is available in three torque versions: standard, no torque added, and ball bearing. It connects via a 5-pin standard connector, with mating connectors available from US Digital. The encoder is designed to drive cables up to 10 feet, with longer lengths requiring a differential line driver.
Environmental Parameters: The 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 Parameters: The sleeve bushing and ball bearing versions have a maximum acceleration of 250000 rad/sec². The maximum shaft speed is 100 rpm for sleeve bushing and 10000 rpm for ball bearing. The encoder supports dynamic and static shaft loading, with a bearing life exceeding 1,000,000 revolutions.
Electrical Specifications: The supply voltage ranges from 4.5 to 5.5 V, with varying supply current based on CPR. Output levels and current per channel are specified, with rise and fall times dependent on CPR.
Pin-out: The encoder features a 5-pin connector with designated pins for ground, index, A channel, +5VDC power, and B channel.
Ordering Information: The S2 encoder can be customized based on CPR, shaft diameter, index presence, torque type, and housing. Cables and connectors are sold separately.
Warranty: US Digital provides a two-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Optical Shaft Encoder Page 1 of 4 The S2 series high resolution optical shaft encoder is a non-contacting rotary to digital converter. Useful for position feedback or manual interface, the encoder converts real-time shaft angle, speed, and direction into TTL-compatible quadrature outputs with or without index. It operates from a single +5VDC supply. The S2 is our first generation ball bearing optical shaft encoder and is available for those customers who have designed it into their products; however, the S6 is recommended for new designs in place of the S2. The S2 is designed to drive cables up to 10 feet long. For longer cable lengths, adding a PC4 / PC5 differential line driver is recommended. Three shaft torque versions are available. The standard torque version has a sleeve bushing designed to provide torque and feel that is ideal for front panel human interface applications. The no torque added option has a sleeve bushing that does not intentionally add torque for low RPM applications where a small amount of torque is acceptable. The ball bearing version uses miniature precision ball bearings that are suitable for high speed and ultra low torque applications. Connection to the S2 series encoder is made through a 5-pin standard connector. The mating connectors are available from US Digital with several cable options and lengths. ► 2-channel quadrature, TTL square wave outputs ► 3rd channel index option ► 64 to 10000 CPR (256 to 40000 PPR) ► Ball bearing option tracks to 10,000 RPM ► Wide operating temperature ► Single +5V supply Mechanical Drawing USE= 1400 NE 136th Avenue [email protected] Local: 360.260.2468 DIGITAL Vancouver, Washington 98684, USA www.usdigital.com Toll-free: 800.736.0194
