EC35 Modular Commutation Encoder with up to 10’000 CPR

PEWATRON introduces US Digital’s latest in motion control solution: the EC35 commutation encoder. The modular EC35 commutation encoder will be a direct replacement for common size 35 brushless DC (BLDC) motor encoders presently on the market.

The optical encoder integrates channel-A, -B and -Z for positional feedback with channel-U, -V and -W to emulate the hall sensor feedback for rotor commutation. The EC35 modular commutation encoder features include:

• A/B/Z differential outputs
• frequency response from DC to 1 MHz
• 500 – 10’000 cycles per revolution (CPR)
• 2’000 – 40’000 quadrature states per revolution
• U/V/W commutation outputs (differential or open-collector, 0 to 8 poles)
• fits shaft diameters from 0.197” (5 mm) – 0.394” (10 mm)
• single 5V supply
• -20 °C to 105 °C operating temperature
• simple mounting with push-on disk and built in, removable spacer tool
