3D models of off-the-shelf telescopic slides
Telescopic ball bearing slide designer and manufacturer, Accuride International, has produced optimised 3D models of its 'off-the-shelf' products which can be downloaded via its website.
This is the smallest high resolution encoder in the world with true lines on disc.
True lines on disc gives this encoder the advantage of being very accurate compared to encoders where interpolation are being used.
This encoder is supplied with a TTL output.
It can be supplied with either a shielded cable or with a ribbon cable mounted with a10-pin IDC connector, which makes the encoder HP compatible.
The shaft version comes in either 2 - 3 or 4mm.
The hollow shaft comes in 1,5 - 2 or 3mm and 1/8in hollow bore.
The temperature range is from -20degC to +70degC.
The max rev is 12,000 revolution per minute (200kHz).
The IP-rating is IP50 for the ribbon cable version and IP54 for the shielded cable version.
Available too is a wide range of accessories for mounting the encoder onto many different types of motors.
