Rotary mechanical encoders for board and panel applications
8 August 2007
Switches, Relays & Keypads
BI Technologies has developed a comprehensive range of rotary mechanical encoders, providing design engineers with a digital version of a potentiometer for controlling a variety of board and panel applications.
Designated the EN Series, the two-bit gray code incremental encoders are housed in 11 mm, 12 mm and 16 mm packages, and feature detents and push-on switch options.
These encoders convert motion into a sequence of digital pulses, allowing them to be used as a digital version of a potentiometer, making them suitable for a broad range of applications.
The product line includes:
* EN11: 11 mm, 20 pulses per revolution, top and side adjust encoder with metal shaft and bushing, threaded and plain bushing, and optional push-on switch and detents.
* EN12: 12 mm, 12 and 24 pulse per revolution, top and side adjust encoder with metal bushing, plastic shaft, and optional push-on switch and detents.
* EN16: 16 mm, 12 and 24 pulse per revolution, top and side adjust encoder with metal bushing, plastic shaft, and optional detents.
All of the EN Series encoders are dust-proof and feature a rotational life of 30 000 cycles with an operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C. BI Technologies will produce devices outside these specifications to meet customer requirements.
