– 12.7mm package requires only 7.5mm back panel depth, capable of over 1 million operating cycles
Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) specialist EAO, has introduced a new range of optical encoders that set a new benchmark for compactness and reliability. Manufactured by Grayhill Inc, the 62xG range of encoders feature a patented optical switching technology that delivers a 2 bit digital quadrature output. Capable of over 1 million switching cycles and featuring a rugged enclosed metal body, metal shaft and optional central pushbutton, the new optical encoders are a more durable and more cost effective alternative to conventional mechanical encoders.
The Grayhill 62xG range of optical encoders comprises three cost competitive product types , each offering different features to match different application requirements.
62AG Series
The 62AG Series products offers 16, 20, 24 or 32 pulses per revolution and the choice of pinned or flying lead connections in various standard lengths. Other options include high, low or no detent torque and a pushbutton.
62SG Series
With a low 7.5mm back panel depth requirement Grayhill has designed the 62SG Series of optical encoders specifically for space critical applications. The devices are available with high, medium and low detent torque options.
62NG Series
In addition to all the features of the 62AG Series 62NG Series encoders offer a non-turn pushbutton within the encoder shaft that ensures that any legend printed on the cap always remains upright when the encoder shaft is turned.
The new Grayhill 62xG range of optical encoders are part of an extensive encoder, joystick and rotary switch range supplied and supported by EAO Ltd.
