SE Quadrature Dual
Shaft Encoder
The SE Quadrature Dual-Shaft Encoders combine the most routinely
used features in one standard device, and are available with a selec-
tion of five different resolutions (pulses/revolution).
The cube-style unit uses an infrared light source and precision me-
chanical components to provide exact, repeatable counts.
Mounting the encoder is quick and easy using the pre-drilled holes in
the base flange, or the housing mounting holes located at each shaft
output.
This encoder can be used as a direct replacement for other brand
encoders, with no blind holes to drill. The double-ended, flatkeyed
shaft permits a choice of mounting positions. Chrome steel bearings
provide 20% longer life than stainless steel bearings.
To aid in troubleshooting, LEDs are located directly on the body to instantly verify correct output op-
eration. Quadrature output is standard and can be externally scaled to provide any engineering unit
(RPM, angular position, feet/min., etc.). Gold-plated connectors ensure maximum signal transfer.
Very low power consumption; typical current draw, 35mA @ 15DCV.

Accessories -
Chariot
The Chariot is used to mount most cube-style quadrature encoders and measuring
wheels. Made of anodized aluminum, the chariot includes mounting hardware and
selectable pivotal points. Wheels, tires, and flexible shaft couplings are sold separately.
Catalog No. 46012
Flexible Shaft Couplings
The one-piece flexible coupling connects the shaft of a cube-style encoder to an ancillary equipment
shaft without worry of misalignment of rotary frequency. The coupling ensures minimum windup,
minimum rotary oscillation, and no hysteresis.
Coupling:
For connecting an encoder to a 3/8” shaft.
Catalog No. 46002
Coupling package:
For connecting an encoder to 1/4” or 5/16” diameter shaft.
Package includes: One flexible coupling (1/2” I.D.) and three reducing inserts (1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”).
Catalog No. 46003
Tire Durometer
A Simpson 12” circumference anodized aluminum measuring wheel is the right
choice to complete the setup of a length measurement system.
Whether the application requires one or two, Simpson’s measuring wheels will
perform accurately and reliably throughout the measuring process.
Also included on the measuring wheel is a printed alignment scale which assists
in the installation and measurement of the length measurement system.
Simpson offers four replaceable durometer tires that consist of a black tire that
has a longer life span and three non marking tires. The three non marking tires are for delicate materials such as plastics,
textiles, wood, metal and paper to prevent tearing, damage or marking of delicate materials.
80A, black tire; longer service life for plastics, metals.
Catalog No. 46004
83A, non-marking tire for textiles, medium textures.
Catalog No. 46005
92A, non-marking tire for plastics, metals, coarse wood.
Catalog No. 46006

Dimensions - S660, S661, S662, S663
Mounting Requirements -
The S660 series 1/8 DIN counters require a panel
cutout of 1.77” (45mm) high by 3.62” (92mm) wide.
To install the counter into a panel cutout, remove
the clips from the side of the meter.
Slide the meter through your panel cutout, then
slide the mounting clips back on the meter.
Press evenly to ensure a proper fit.
