Industrial Grade Optical Rotary Encoders
Encoders are used in all types of motion sensing applications, including machine tooling, semiconductor positioning and multi-axis positioning. All Koyo encoders feature a reinforced aluminum diecast casing and come equipped with a two-meter cable or MS connector.
Use the incremental encoders with our PLC high-speed counter modules for accurate position monitoring and control. Absolute encoders are wired to standard PLC DC input cards and do not require a high-speed input module. Mounting brackets and flexible couplings in aluminum and glass reinforced resin are also available.
All of our Koyo encoders are in stock and available to be shipped immediately.
As with all of our product lines, our prices are often well below the list prices of traditional automation suppliers. Our direct business model allows us to operate more efficiently than other suppliers and pass the savings on to you. A light-duty encoder is a cost-effective encoder for light shaft loads.
All encoders carry a 1-year warranty, and have a 30-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, send it back and we will refund your money.
