S16 Product Description

Restriction of Hazardous Substances

The S16 16mm micro-optical shaft encoder is designed to provide A, B, and Index digital quadrature signals for high volume restricted space applications. The S16 encoder is available with either a bushing or ball bearing system for high speed applications. The shaft torque is designed to provide the feel of a potentiometer for front-panel manual interfaces. The S16 series encoder is connected using a 5-conductor, polarized, 0.8mm pitch connector (Hirose part number DF52-5P-0.8C). The mating cable (see the Cables web page) is not included and is available separately.
