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.
