Absolute Encoders suit severe environments.

Press Release Summary:




Scalable Absolute Encoders for severe electrical and physical environments convert any shaft input to BCD or binary information corresponding to shaft angle with accuracy of ±1 point in 3600. Data outputs are TTL compatible and data transfer lines are provided for interfacing to computers. Basic update rate is 2.5 ms with LED displays of 3, 4 or 5 digits available. Operating temperature range of 0-70°C is standard.



Original Press Release:



New Low-Cost Scalable Absolute Encoders for Severe Environments



A series of low-cost, scalable Absolute Encoders especially suited to severe electrical (EMI) and physical (high
temperature, vibration and moisture) environments has been introduced by CCC. These new units will convert any shaft
input to BCD or binary information corresponding directly to the shaft angle with an accuracy of ± 1 pt. in 3600. In
addition, 3,4 or 5 digit, .5" H LED displays of that angle are available.

Since the shaft Transducer used is a highly reliable Resolver, the DIGI-SHAFT system is free from deficiencies such as limited life brushes, light sources, brush noise, ambiguities and limited resolution usually associated with conventional optical, or mechanical encoders. The zero point can be reset to any value via an available offset adjustment and any output scale factor desired can be provided (i.e., lbs., feet, meters, etc.). Simple cable runs of up to 1,000 feet between the Transducers and electronics package can be used.

Multiple shafts can be simultaneously encoded at a very low cost per channel, simply by adding another Transducer and part of the single channel electronics package. Data outputs are TTL compatible and a data transfer and data hold line are provided for simple interfacing to a computer. The basic update rate is 2.5 ms.

Units can be provided with size 11 or 15 Transducers and the electronics package is 5.4 x 7" x 1.75"H. DC power of ±15 and 5V DC is required if the internal power supply option is not chosen. Operating temperature range of 0° to 70°C, or -55°C to +85°C is standard. Multi-Turn units also are available.

Pricing for P/N: DS90-DB-10-2 is $375.00/axis in unit quantities. Delivery is 4 weeks.
