By the time you have read this first sentence, you
could have installed BEI’s model MX21 INSTA-MOUNT
™
modular optical encoder. In addition to its quick and easy
installation, the MX21 is designed to operate with jitter-
free output signals without tight controls on shaft endplay,
runout, or perpendicularity. The new INSTA-MOUNT
™
encoder is capable of operating within a temperature range
of -10° to +70°C, requiring less than 30 milliamps of L.E.D.
current, without degradation of output signals and is short
circuit protected. The MX21 is perfectly suited for motor
manufacturers and other high volume OEMs.
BEI’s INSTA-MOUNT
™
Series encoder offers 5V TTL
compatible quadrature outputs with index and complements
as options. Axial shaft movements during operation, of
±0.010", will not adversely affect the output signals. Shaft
runouts of 0.005" TIR can also be absorbed by this device
without affecting output signal performance.
• Tolerant of axial and radial shaft movements often
associated with less expensive motor designs
