The US Digital EC35 motor encoder mounts directly to a motor but can also be installed on any rotating shaft. This incremental encoder uses a specially patterned optical disk on a precision-machined aluminum hub. In addition to a quadrature and differential index output, this encoder also provides a commutation output (differential or open-collector) for brushless motors with various pole counts.

This disk, in combination with an IC detector, creates a system that provides high resolution up to 60,000 CPR and is tolerant to mechanical misalignment. A push-on hub design securely grips the shaft without set screws, and a robust, glass-filled polymer housing provides easy installation in space-limited applications. 

A built-in, removable spacer tool ensures that the encoder disk is automatically set to the correct gap when the encoder housing is mounted. The encoder can be "timed" by rotating a ring on the assembly and pressing the ring in with a simple tool to lock everything into place.

This optical encoder is designed for use with a high-retention connector. After making each selection in the Product Configurator, a compatible cable will be displayed below and must be purchased separately.

Please Note: Due to the EC35's design, it is recommended for use as a one-time installation.
