MLX Series rails are available with specifically designed encoders for applications that require feedback. The compact optical incremental encoder designs are available with two channel quadrature TTL squarewave outputs. Various resolutions are available, up to 1000 CPR.
Simplicity and low cost make the encoders ideal for both high and low volume motion control applications. The internal monolithic electronic module converts the real-time shaft angle, speed, and direction into TTL compatible outputs. The encoder modules incorporate a lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with signal shaping electronics to produce the two channel bounceless TTL outputs.
