Our S4T Miniature Shafted Optical Encoders are now available with Higher Resolution!

The S4T miniature optical shaft encoder is a non-contacting rotary to digital converter. The S4T contains an LED light source, monolithic photo detector and mylar disk. The S4T encoder is available with a shaft bushing or ball bearings for motion control applications, or with shaft torque designed to feel like a potentiometer for front-panel manual interfaces. The encoder converts real-time shaft angle, speed, and direction into TTL-compatible quadrature outputs without index. It operates from a single +5VDC supply.

US Digital's E4T Miniature Optical Encoder Kit is now available with Higher Resolution!
