Incremental Encoders
Incremental encoders provide a relative position with respect to a "home" or zero position. US Digital offers incremental encoders as kits ready for assembly and shaft-equipped encoders, using both optical and magnetic technologies. Also in stock and immediately available are encoder modules and encoder components such as disks and hubdisks.

Kit Incremental Encoders
-
US Digital has become known for providing the industry's widest array of quick-assembly, kit-style encoders. These encoders are simple to add to existing applications, since they comprise just four or five primary components and easily mount on existing shafts.

Shaft Incremental Encoders
-
US Digital offers a growing array, including many that offer a choice of shaft torque, including: standard, no-torque and a precision ball-bearing version for high-speed or ultra-low torque applications.

Hollow Bore Encoders
-
Hollow bore encoders are designed to mount directly to an existing shaft to provide feedback information. They’re also known as “through bore”, “through shaft”, and “hollow shaft” encoders.

Transmissive Optical Encoder Module
EM2
-
The EM2 provides digital A & B quadrature outputs with a third output index channel. Each EM2 module is resolution specific and is matched to the resolution of a code wheel. The EM2 operates with a single 5V supply and provides single ended outputs which are capable of both sinking and sourcing 5mA. An internal 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor is designed into the EM2 to provide enhanced noise immunity.

Transmissive Optical Encoder Module
EM1
-
The EM1 is a transmissive optical encoder module designed to be an improved replacement for the Avago HEDS-9000 series encoder module. This module is designed to detect rotary or linear position when used together with a code wheel or linear strip. The EM1 consists of a lensed LED source and a monolithic detector IC enclosed in a small polymer package. The EM1 uses phased array detector technology to provide superior performance and greater tolerances over traditional aperture mask type encoders.

Transmissive Rotary Codewheel
HUBDISK-1
-
US Digital offers a wide variety of standard hub / disk assemblies (optical encoder disks attached to an aluminum hub) to aid with mounting on a shaft. Encoder disks may also be ordered as a stand alone item (see the Disks page). These rotary encoder disks are made from mylar polyester film. This material allows for a wide temperature range and is virtually unbreakable.
