Incremental Encoders

Incremental Encoders, and, in particular, incremental optical encoders, are the most popular choice of sensors in applications where mechanical motion must be processed into digital information. Compared with alternate technologies (such as resolvers, tachometers, etc.), optical encoders represent the best combination of accuracy, resolution, reliability, ruggedness, ease of use, value and variety of solutions in the industry. For these reasons, optical encoders are the overwhelming choice where speed, rate, velocity, distance, position, or direction must be accuray and economically measured. Resolutions up to 30,000 counts per revolution (CPR) and operating temperatures up to 120° C (248° F) are just some of features.

Iincremental encoders are into three model groups, OEM Models, Shaft Models, and Bore Models. Each model group has unique physical styles which include many mounting options, case styles, and useful features.

Absolute Encoders

As with all of EPC's encoders, these absolute encoders represent the best overall value available. Their simplified design make them ideal, cost-effective solutions to many problems faced in motion control and in industrial automation. They are particularly suited for applications where a device is inactive for long periods of time or moves at a slow rate, such as flood gate control, escopes, cranes, valves, etc., and in machine tooling, printing, paper making and many other industries.

EPC offers single turn devices with resolutions ranging from 8 bit (256 counts per rev) to 12 bit (4096 counts per rev). You can choose from a variety of formats, including binary or gray code, and from a variety of output types. Also available are innovative hollow bore models that extend the application areas suitable for absolutes.

Backlash B-Gone! At last, a linear encoder solution with no back-lash or slippage. The NEW TR2 Tru-Trac Accu-Coder Linear Encoder is a versatile solution for tracking velocity, position, or distance in almost any application, featuring an integrated encoder with a rack and pinion gear assembly. Using the Rack and Pinion gear system, encoder readings can be obtained with repeatable positioning, providing excellent accuracy.

Racks can be ordered in varying lengths, and with the accessory spacer block, multiple lengths of rack can be joined for easy installation. Due to the spring loaded torsion arm, which provides simple to adjust torsion load, the TR2 Accu Coder Linear Encoder has all the flexibility and maneuverability of the original TR1 Tru-Trac. It has the ability to be installed in a horizontal, vertical, or upside down position.

The Model 802S Accu-Coder is a heavy duty, industry standard Size 20 (2.0" diameter) encoder specifically designed for harsh factory and plant floor environments. The Model 802S Accu-Coder Stainless Encoder is available with a variety of flange and servo mounting styles, making it easy to use in a broad range of applications. Its heavy duty, double shielded ball bearings are rated at 80 pounds maximum axial and radial shaft load, ensuring long operating life. This ultra-rugged, yet compact encoder is housed in a Type 316 stainless steel enclosure, making it ideal for applications where contamination or exposure to caustic chemicals is a concern. But don't let its tough exterior fool you, the Model 802S Stainless Steel Encoder provides the precise, reliable output you've come to expect from Accu-Coder.

Direct Replacement Encoders

Encoder Products Company understands the importance of time when you have a machine down. After many years of successfully cross referencing and retrofitting thousands of both domestic and foreign encoders, we now offer popular configurations as Direct Replacement Encoders.

All Direct Replacement Encoder carry the Accu-Coder brand and include:

• Encoders that are either in stock and ready for Fast Delivery!
• Huge savings compared to OEM prices
• The accuracy, reliability, and quality that only come from an Accu-Coder
• A 3-YEAR guaranteed warranty

Encoder Products Company (EPC) offers two types of measuring wheels in both english and metric circumferences. The first type, Faced Measuring Wheels, has a wide contact surface with a variety of faced coatings, one of which will be suitable for nearly every specialized application. The second, Rubber Insert Measuring Wheels, uses a replaceable rubber insert, or "spare tire", that is easier to set up and maintain, and fits most general-purpose requirements.
