installed BEI’s model MX15 INSTA-MOUNT™ modular optical encoder.
In addition to its quick and easy installation, the MX15 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 MX15 is perfectly suited
for motor manufacturers and other high volume OEMs.
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 run outs of 0.005" TIR can also be
absorbed by this device without affecting output signal performance.
