Introduction
The Sensata BEI Sensors E25 Series Incremental Optical Encoder is designed for light-duty applications, including robotics, precision computer peripherals, and OEM motors and controls. It is designed with an integrated mounting ring and shaft coupling. The integrated mounting ring and shaft coupling allow for simplified installation and a low overall profile when the unit is mounted on a motor. These self-contained mounting and coupling features can reduce interface costs.
