E8T Product Description
The E8T transmissive optical encoder is designed to provide digital quadrature encoder feedback for high volume, compact space applications. The E8T is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the E7P/E8P and offers higher maximum speed and increased output drive. The E8T utilizes an innovative, push-on code wheel that accepts shaft diameters of .118 in. to .375 in.
The E8T default encoder base provides mounting holes for two #4-40, length 0.188 in. or two M2.5, length 5mm screws on a 0.75 in. bolt circle diameter. A 1.28 in. diameter bolt circle mount is also available, only with #4-40, length 0.188 in. screws. The encoder cover is easily snapped onto the base and is marked with the connector pin-out.
The single-ended output version is connected using a 4-conductor, high retention, polarized, 1.25mm pitch connector. The differential output version uses a similar 6-pin connector. Mating cables and connectors (see the Cables/Connectors web page) are not included and are available separately.
Please Note: Due to the E8T's design, it is recommended for use as a one-time installation.
