Encoder Products Company (EPC), a designer and worldwide manufacturer of motion sensing devices, introduced the Model 25SP—a programmable encoder in the industry-standard Size 25 package (2.5" x 2.5", or 63.5 mm). Contained within the industrial housing of the Model 25SP is a set of electronics that allow the encoder to be programmed for exact application needs.
Using EPC's optional programming module, users may select from six output types, choose from 32 different waveforms, and program any resolution from 1 to 65,536 CPR – that's 262,144 counts using 4x quadrature counting. These programming features allow a single encoder to be configured for multiple applications, enabling one encoder to replace many different part numbers, and providing cost savings on inventory and down-time replacement.
“What really sets the Model 25SP apart is the number of configuration options. With so many different connectors, waveforms, and CPRs to choose from, it’s the most versatile programmable Size 25 shaft encoder you’ll find,” says Steve Dilts, business development manager.
The Model 25SP Accu-CoderPro™ comes standard with dual bearings rated 80lbs axial or radial, so it can handle heavy-duty applications; and it can be specified with up to IP67 sealing, to keep it working in challenging environments. With a variety of mounting options, shaft sizes, and connector types to choose from, it’s configurable enough to fit into almost any application.
