L2 Low-Profile Encoder Adds Higher Resolutions

Vancouver, Washington – March 30, 2026. US Digital announced today expanded resolution options for the L2 Low-Profile Motor Encoder, now offering up to 5000 CPR (20,000 PPR with quadrature).  

The L2 motor encoder maintains its compact 0.398 in. profile and simple, direct-to-shaft mounting, making it well suited for space-constrained applications. It supports 12 shaft sizes ranging from 2 mm to 8 mm and 1/8 in. to 5/16 in. and is compatible with NEMA 17 through NEMA 34 and larger motors.

Now the L2 supports the following resolutions: 2000, 2048, 2500, 4000, 4096, and 5000 CPR. These additions extend the encoder’s capability for applications requiring higher positional resolution and finer motion control, while maintaining the same compact form factor and straightforward installation.

L2 Features
• Low profile — only 0.398 in. tall
• Resolutions now available up to 5000 CPR (20,000 PPR with quadrature)
• Uses field-proven EM1 and EM2 optical encoder modules
• Simple, quick installation

Lower resolutions continue to use US Digital’s EM1 optical encoder module, while higher resolutions are enabled by the EM2 module, providing expanded performance options across a wider range of applications.

The L2 provides two-channel quadrature TTL square wave output with an optional index channel. A high-retention connector and cable system is available and sold separately.

Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams. The L2 is immediately available for shipping worldwide. Learn more at usdigital.com.
