DetailsRK series is a high performance, low cost, two-channel optical incremental encoder module.
It consists of a highly collimated light source and a detector IC enclosed in a small C-shaped plastic package, matched with a code disc or codestrip, it provides information of rotary or linear position.
RK series also has linear (LPI) options: 20, 45, 90, 150, 180, 300, 360.
Photo-detector Array
-20°C to +85°C Operating Temperature
Resolution Up to 600 CP
C-Shape Structure, Easy to Mount
TTL Compatible
Single 5V Supply
Typical applications include: printers, plotter copiers, office automation and industrial automation equipment.
Safety Notice: Not recommended for use in safety critical application. Eg. ABS braking system.
