ENCODER |switches|crl|rocker switch|encoder Electro Switch Corporation has completed the acquisition of theOakGrigsby business from the Appliance Controls Group, Inc. This acquisition expands the products offered by Electroswitch to include an encoder line, solenoids, an expansion of our open frame rotary switches and a number of specialty products sold to the military and US Postal Service. Electroswitch has an extensive encoder offering, both optical and mechanical , as well as rotary switches, illuminated pushbutton switches and indicators, and value added assemblies. The MM P/Rel mechanical encoder series represents the best in contemporary rotary technology, and reflects the high standards of reliability which have made OakGrigsby rotary devices known worldwide. At only.865" square, these compact switches have up to 36 positions and adapt to numerous design requirements. Strong, electron-welded PC terminations permit easy insertion into printed circuit boards. The OE2 Series optical encoder has been developed for customers who require switches that are more reliable and longer lasting than conventional rotary switches. Advanced optical technology uses no mechanical contacts, which reduces noise and eliminates contact bounce. An important advantage of the OE2 Series optical encoder is its complete compliance to MIL-STD 202 for humidity, vibration, thermal and mechanical shock and performance, which is unique for the switch industry. This provides a great fit for products involving critical functions, such as medical devices and industrial process controls. The 900 Series offers a full line of low cost, rugged optical encoders with incremental output. Well suited for industrial motion and position sensing, their low profile and high resolution also make them ideal for panel mounted applications. A two-channel quadrature code allows the encoder to detect the direction and magnitude of the input motion applied to its shaft. Available in this encoder family is a new low profile package with internal bearings and integrated mounting holes. A sealed metal housing along with available die cast or stainless steel shaft ensure strength and accuracy in harsh environments. The semiconductor-based LED optical technology provides longer life and higher reliability than a regular mechanical encoder or switch. Small in size, the encoder adapts well to new or retrofit applications. Output terminations available to match industry standard 4 or 5 pin configurations. This encoder may be directly coupled to a motor, gear, or axle. The threaded bushing allows easy system integration for these as well as panel mounted applications. |
