The E8P is no longer available for purchase, and has been replaced by our recently released E8T. The E8T is a redesigned, enhanced version of the E8P, and is already available for purchase.
E8P Product Description
The E8P optical incremental kit encoder is designed for high volume, low cost, mid-resolution OEM motion control applications. The E8P is small enough for a NEMA Size 11 stepper motor. The E8P uses a single 5V supply and offers two TTL quadrature outputs. Single-ended or differential output options are available. A single-chip reflective encoder module incorporates an LED, monolithic detector, and molded lenses. The phased array technology accepts far wider mechanical tolerance and misalignment than traditional aperture type encoders. The E8P uses an innovative, patent-pending, push-on encoder disk that provides extremely secure and accurate yet easy installation without setscrews.
The E8P provides mounting holes for two #4-40, length .250 in. screws or two M2.5x.45mm, length 6mm screws on a 0.75 in. diameter bolt circle. When mounting holes are not available, an option with a transfer adhesive pre-applied to the base is available. A centering tool is provided to center the base to the motor shaft during installation. The encoder disk pushes on by hand using a spacer tool to set the gap in one step. The cover snaps on to complete the assembly in seconds.
The single-ended output version has a 4-pin high retention polarized connector and is designed to drive cables up to six feet long. For longer cable lengths, the differential output version (6-pin connector) is recommended to maximize noise immunity. The internal 26C31 differential line driver can source and sink 20 mA at TTL levels. The recommended receiver is industry standard 26C32. Maximum noise immunity is achieved when the differential receiver is terminated with a 150 Ω resistor in series with a .0047 μF capacitor placed across each differential pair. The capacitor conserves power. Otherwise, power consumption would increase by approximately 20 mA per pair or 40 mA for 2 pairs.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
|
1. PCB Installation
Position the PCB so that connector lines up with flat side of base. Push PCB onto base by hand so that the two guideposts fit into associated PCB holes.
|
|
|
2. Base Installation
2a. Standard: Secure base to mounting
surface with provided mounting screws.
|
|
|
|
2b. Transfer Adhesive: Slip centering tool over shaft and into center hole of base. Slide both parts down shaft until they contact mounting surface. Press base firmly to assure good adhesion. Remove centering tool. |
| 3. Codewheel Installation
Set codewheel on shaft with disk facing base. Place spacer tool over codewheel with recess areas over connector and base tabs. Push tool down by hand until it bottoms out against base. Remove reusable spacer tool. In order to prevent permanent damage to motor bearings (especially on small diameter shaft motors), it is recommended that the far end (drive end) of the motor shaft be supported while installing the push on hub.
|
 |
|
4. Cover Installation
Snap cover onto base.
