Compact Encoder Provides over 160,000 Counts
Description
Measuring only 1.5 inches in diameter, the L15 incremental encoder from BEI can now provide system designers with high-resolution capability in a compact package. Engineered with robust interpolative electronics, the L15 can give you the design flexibility of up to 40,640 cycles per turn in your control system. The internal, electronic multiplication boosts output resolution up to 16 times with no degradation of overall encoder accuracy. A maximum of 162,560 counts is available by using the standard quadrature detection option available on most PLC’s, counters and controllers. This new high performance option for the L15 is ideal for space or weight limited applications requiring high accuracy: applications such as semiconductor fabrication and industrial robotics. Now you can have a precision encoder packaged to fit where others can’t. The L15 encoder features a size 15 servo mount style package, _-inch diameter stainless steel shaft and can accommodate up to 5 pounds radial or axial load. The L15 encoder package has field-proven ASIC electronics, sealed dual bearings and BEI’s accurate code disk in an all metal housing to ensure ruggedness and reliability.
