Modular Incremental Encoders

OPTICAL ENCODERS
AME, BME, and LME are modular incremental encoders that offer a range of resolution and bore options and can provide voltage or line driver output.  Each encoder contains an LED source, an integrated circuit with detectors and circuitry and an optical disc that rotates between the emitter and detector IC.  These encoders can be mounted to a dc motor or used in other feedback required applications. AME and BME offer resolutions ranging 100-1024 ppr and bore diameters ranging 3-8 mm. LME has resolutions ranging 1,000-2,048 ppr and 6-20 mm bore diameters.
