Rotary Motion Position-Measuring Transmitter Kits


In addition to a transmitter, these kits include a 6 1/2-ft. cable and a mounting bracket. Also known as encoders, transmitters convert motion to an electrical signal to indicate distance, direction, and speed in process control and metering applications. These kits are commonly used to monitor the position or velocity of rotating equipment. You can also mount a wheel (not included) to measure distance in linear applications. Transmitters must be used with a controller that has quadrature detection to get a 4X resolution increase. Output channel Z is also known as an index channel.
Use a flexible shaft coupling (not included) to connect the transmitter shaft to a drive shaft.

Rotary Motion Position-Measuring Transmitters


Provide motion feedback to counters, controllers, and motor drives for automated motion control and measurement applications. Also known as encoders, transmitters convert rotary motion to an electrical signal so you can operate your system based on distance, direction, and speed of travel. Transmitters have Pull-Up Resistor output.
Use a flexible shaft coupling (not included) to connect the transmitter shaft to a drive shaft.
Mount a wheel (not included) to use transmitters to measure lengths.
Use cables (not included) to connect transmitters to counters and controllers.

Linear Scales
Increase the accuracy of your manual machine when you fit it with a linear scale. These scales have an LCD that displays exact positioning on one axis. They have zero-position memory, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning, which retains the measuring position when the scale is off. A zero-set button lets you start measuring at any point. SPC data output allows for connection to a computer or data processor.
053906B model comes with mounting brackets for installation on Bridgeport-type milling machines. It requires a 10-pin data cable and Mitutoyo 10-Pin to USB adapter to connect to your PC.
USB data cable (sold separately) connects the scale directly to your PC.
10-pin data cables (sold separately) connect the scale to a Mitutoyo miniprocessor or multiplexer.
Mitutoyo 10-Pin to USB Adapter (sold separately) adapts Mitutoyo 10-pin SPC cables for connection to a USB port on your PC.
Wireless data transmitter and receiver (sold separately) allow you to transmit measurement data from a scale to your PC without being tethered by a cable.
