CP-500 Series Housed Encoder

Allied Motion's CP-500 series hollow shaft encoder is a small, rugged optical encoder with a package form factor similar to that of a 39 mm stepper motor.

Up to 2,048 cycles per revolution are available for the incremental models and up to 10 bits for the absolute units.

A single light emitting diode is the CP-500's light source, and it is servo controlled to maintain constant light output over time and the unit's temperature range. The CP-500's light sensor is a monolithic silicon array.

The CP-500 series includes commutating versions to enable the commutation of brushless DC motors in addition to providing encoded position data.
