The QR145, QR200 and QR12 series of optical encoders have 28 AWG conductors in the standard flying lead cable. This gauge of cable is excellent for tight bends and fitting in applications where space is a premium. The conductors can easily handle the 250 mA max current requirement of the...

When using an Incremental Encoder, you often have to know how many pulses there are per degree of rotation. This is a very straightforward math problem. Pulses per Degree = Number of encoder pulses per rotation/Number of degrees in a circle For a 5,000 line count incremental rotary encoder we...
