Restriction of Hazardous Substances
The S4T miniature optical shaft encoder is a non-contacting rotary to digital converter. The S4T contains an LED light source, monolithic photodetector, and mylar disk. The S4T encoder is available with 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 .
The S4T uses a high retention, 4 conductor snap-in polarized 1.25mm pitch connector. Mating cables and connectors (see the Cables/Connectors web page) are not included and are available separately.
