8000 Series Shaft Encoders
Shaft encoders operate by converting the revolutions of their input shafts into electrical output pulses. They
are available with a 6.35mm (0.25") diameter shaft (above) or in a heavy duty model with a 10mm (0.394")
diameter shaft (above right). They are available as standard with quadrature output (bi-directional) which
senses direction automatically to allow high speed add/subtract counting. Any model can be supplied with
measuring wheels fitted and the internal gearing can be arranged to give outputs in yards, metres, a fraction
of these units, or any ratio required.
When ordering, please specify number of pulses per revolution eg.
1:20 = 20 pulses/rev;

1 Connections A and B are shown for a
shaft drive direction of top-coming. If
direction of drive is top-going, reverse
connections A and B.
2 If using these Shaft Encoders with uni-
directional input counters or other
B
devices, use only the A output and
insulate the B output.
