Motor Encoder

Whether you're looking for an incremental or absolute solution, US Digital offers a range of motor encoders designed for easy integration. These encoder kits mount directly to a motor shaft or another rotating shaft within your mechanical system. For more information about motor encoders, see this blog post

Incremental Encoder

US Digital’s quadrature encoder kits serve a wide variety of applications. They support shaft sizes from as small as 1.5 mm to as large as 1 inch and are compatible with motor frame sizes from NEMA 6 to NEMA 34. Some are available with differential or open collector output and many have an index option.
