Encoders

We offer a variety of encoder options for your application, providing flexibility in design by offering choices in resolution, power consumption, and operating temperatures. Incremental and absolute rotary encoders are used in applications requiring high reliability and precise digital output. Multiple shaft and bushing options provide adaptability for your design requirements, making them ideal for navigation and menu selection using digital displays.

Mechanical Encoders

CTS mechanical encoders provide direct interface to your digital circuitry without signal conversion.  The 16mm 288 Series mechanical encoders are available with 2-bit binary, 4-bit Gray, and 4-bit hexadecimal output.  Options include detents to provide positive actuation feel for each position change and a push to actuate momentary switch.  The 9mm 290 Series has similar options but in a smaller size for board space restrictions.

Optical Encoder

The 291 Series allows versatility in design applications by providing highly reliable, precise digital output and long rotational life with our non-contacting design. This product provides flexibility in resolution, power consumption, and operating temperatures. The options of Schmitt trigger, detents, momentary switch, shaft and bushing length, dual shaft, termination styles, torque, operating voltage, and IP ratings provide flexibility to meet your exact design requirements.
