The miniature optical encoder SPF is ideal for applications with minimal space and up to 4096 ppr.

The SPF is a 16 mm micro-optical encoder that is designed to provide digital A, B and index quadrature signals for applications where space is at a premium. The encoder is available with either sleeve or ball bearings. The shaft torque is designed to give the feel of a potentiometer for manual interfaces on the front panel. The encoder is connected with a 5-pin connector with 0.8 mm pitch (Hirose part number DF52-5P-0.8C).
