A range of oil-proof fans is designed specially for cooling machine tools and production machinery where a mist of lubricating oil is dispersed during operation.
Optical encoder has higher accuracy
A more accurate optical encoder with integrated pushbutton enhances accuracy by providing more data points to measure changes in shaft position.
The 62S has a 13 x 14mm cross section and has a behind-panel depth of just 7.4mm, the smallest of any Grayhill encoder.
Small but packed with features, it is a versatile encoder offering a wide range of options including a choice of low, medium and high torque settings; five actuation forces; 8 - 32 detented positions or no detent at all.
The range of settings provides a high level of positive tactile feedback.
The robust stainless steel and Zamac construction means it will operate through one million cycles within a thermal range of -40degC to +60degC.
The 62S has a 2-Bit quadrature coded output.
It is available with either PCB or cable terminations.
The integral pushbutton makes the 62S particularly well suited to scroll-and-enter data input applications including GPS navigation systems, test and measurement equipment, medical devices and industrial controls.
In many user interface applications, rotary optical encoders provide the most versatile and economical means to obtain feedback signals for position and speed control.
