E16 Product Description

Restriction of Hazardous Substances

The E16 16mm micro optical encoder is designed to provide A, B and Index digital quadrature signals for high volume, restricted space applications. The E16 utilizes an innovative, push-on encoder disk which accepts shaft diameters of 1.5mm and 2mm.

The E16 is designed to be a one-time installation micro optical encoder, the base provides mounting holes for two M1.6-0.35, length 3mm screws on a 10mm bolt circle. The encoder cover is easily snapped onto the base and is marked with the connector pin-out.

The E16 series encoder is connected using a 5-conductor, polarized, 0.8mm pitch connector (Hirose part number DF52-5P-0.8C). Mating cable (see the Cables web page) is not included and is available separately.

Please Note: Due to the E16's design, it is recommended for use as a one-time installation.

Timing Diagram

em1-timing.png
CPR
The number of Cycles (C) of the A or B outputs Per Revolution.
Index (I)
The index output goes high once per revolution, coincident with the low states of channels A and B, nominally 1/4 of one cycle (90°e).
One Shaft Rotation
360 mechanical degrees.
One Electrical Degree (°e)
1/360th of one cycle.
One Cycle (C)
360 electrical degrees (°e). Each cycle can be decoded into 1, 2, or 4 states, referred to as x1, x2, or x4 resolution multiplication.
PPR
The number of resolvable Positions Per Revolution of the encoder disk with x4 quadrature decoding.
Quadrature (Z)
The phase lag or lead between channels A and B in electrical degrees, nominally 90°e.
Symmetry
A measure of the relationship between (X) and (Y) in electrical degrees, nominally 180°e.
