The Ero 2000 series encoder offers high interpolation rates as well as thermal position stability

The Ero 2000 series encoder offers high interpolation rates as well as thermal position stability. The series includes a scanning unit and two types of scales. The scanning heads come with a 1-V peak-to-peak analog interface. Position noise is measured to ± 0.04 in (arc seconds). The two types of scales contain a 20-micron graduation with a full circle and segment of a circle. For the circular scales, a disk with 2,500 lines per revolution with a 19-mm outside diameter is available. The segment-shaped scale has the same 20-micron graduation but is lighter as portions of the glass disk have been removed to shape the scale into its rectangular form.
