Low-cost Miniature Incremental Encoders

A new family of easy-to-install low-cost incremental encoders has been designed specifically for applications with small shaft motors, such as printer motors, machine automation and machine safety equipment.

The OPE1275 and OPE2275 single- and dual-channel encoders are easy to assemble, cost-effective miniature incremental encoders, rated to 256 pulses per revolution, at speeds of up to 5,000 RPM.

The OPE1275 encoder provides a single-channel analog output for speed of rotation, while the OPE2275 device provides a dual-channel analog output for speed and direction of rotation. Electrical connection is achieved via a 4-pin connector providing V+, ground and output pins.
