DISK-2 BCD - PCN 1013

The standard DISK-2 transmissive encoder disk is currently produced with a 3-hole bolt pattern cut into the disk for ID sizes greater than or equal to .472” (12mm). This bolt circle feature will no longer be incorporated on any of our standard DISK-2 encoder disks. The purpose of this change is to create uniformity within our standard disk selection. Please contact us if you have interest in a custom disk with features in addition to the standard ID & OD. Download PCN 1013...  Read more »

E4 - E4P - S4 Update - PCN 1014

We have modifed the E4, E4P and S4 product lines in order to improve the performance and durability of the encoder. Changes include new molds for the plastic base and cover parts with an over-molded bushing in the S4 base, a new SMT connector (compatible with current mating connector), and a modified PCB profile to accommodate the new connector and plastic part modifications.

E5 Insert Overmold - PCN 1008

In an effort to enhance the robustness of our E5 encoder, the four threaded inserts pressed into the base are being replaced with similar threaded nuts that will be insert-molded into the encoder base. This change in process will retain the insert with much greater strength. Download PCN 1008    Read more »

E5 Laser Marking - PCN 1009

The primary purpose for this change is to create a more durable and longer lasting solution compared to the previous stick on label solution. The E5 encoder covers will now have the US Digital logo, part number, lot code, and pin-outs laser marked onto the top surface. Download PCN 1009    Read more »

E5 Mold Update - PCN 1007

The plastic E5 base and covers have been redesigned for improved moldability and aesthetics. Design changes are primarily alteration of surface drafts, additional or increased corner radii and additional coring out of thick regions. This update was carefully done to preserve the size and shape of the encoder. The new parts are dimensionally equivalent and will fit within the envelope of the previous parts. Only the E-option covers and the G-option bases have features with dimensional...  Read more »

Interface Product Laser Marking - PCN 1011

The AD2B, AD4B, AD7, EADAPT, EDAC2, EDIVIDE, EPOT, EQUAD, ESUM, ESWITCH, ETACH2, SEI-USB, USB-232 currently utilizes a printed thermal transfer label. This label will no longer be used and will be replaced by laser marking directly onto the housing of the product. The purpose for this change is to create a more durable solution, and eliminate the possibility of the label being inadvertently removed from the housing. Download PCN 1011    Read more »
