S1 Product Description
The S1 series optical shaft encoder is a non-contacting rotary to digital converter. Useful for position feedback or manual interface, the encoder converts real-time shaft angle, speed, and direction into TTL-compatible quadrature outputs with or without index. It operates from a single +5VDC supply.
Three shaft torque options are available:
- Default (-D): sleeve bushing with higher damping for human interface applications.
- Ball bearing (-B): miniature precision ball bearings suitable for high-speed applications.
- Light static drag (-N): sleeve bushing with lower damping for low-speed applications.
The S1 is designed to drive cables up to 10 feet long. For longer cable lengths, adding a PC4/PC5 differential line driver is recommended.Connection to the S1 series encoder is made through a 5-pin standard connector. The mating connectors are available from US Digital with several cable options and lengths.
