R20-P Shaft Encoder

Optic Shaft Encoder R20-P
Series 20-P with Heavy Duty Bearings

The model R20-P is an optical shaft encoder in a 2" diameter x 1-3/4" long housing that can be face mounted using three 6-32 x .25" deep mounting holes on a 1.75" diameter bolt circle. The shaft is up to 3/8" diameter, either single or double ended. Electrical connection is through a 16mm circular connector or an attached cable.
The encoder is factory configured with a program that offers one or more features. DIP switches are used to set program parameters. Examples of some of the available features are: selectable pulses per revolution, quadrature (A/B) outputs, direction output, and the anti-jitter feature.

Standard Features and Options:
•  DIP switch sleectable features
•  Up to 3/8" shaft diameter, option double ended
•  Heavy Duty bearings
•  Unbreakable code disk
•  Size 20 housing
•  Short circuit and ESD protected
•  Up to 1200 pulses per revolution
•  Attached cable, or 16mm or M12 connector

ELECTRICAL 

  • Programming Features: The encoder is factory configured with a program that offers one or more of the following features. DIP switches are used to set program parameters.
    • Selectable Pulses per revolution
    • Quadrature (A/B) outputs
    • Direction outputs
    • Anti-Jitter feature
    • Other enhanced features
  • Supply Voltages: (specify when ordering)
              5 VDC or 8-30 VDC
  • Current: 500 mA max (no load)
              100 mA max (line driver)
  • Operating Temperature: 0° to 70° C
  • Output Circuit: (specify when ordering)  
    Output voltage level is approximately the same as the input voltage level.
  • Single Ended:
    • 7273 open collector (30 VDC max, 50 mA max)
    • 7272 Push-Pull (50 mA max source or sink)
  • Differential Line Driver:
  • 7272 differential line driver (also with optional 5vdc output level)
  • Pulse symmetry: 180° +/- 30%
  • Pulse interval jitter: 30% max
  • Quadrature: 90° +/- 30% max
  • Phase jitter: 30% max 
  • Output Waveshape: 
    Square wave outputs A and B are 50/50 duty cycle nominal. Output Z (index output) is approximately the width of one cycle on outputs A or B. Output A leads by 90 for clockwise rotation when viewed from shaft end.
