Gurley Precision Instruments Angle Encoder 8460

The Series 8460 is a robust metrology-grade encoder that is equally well-suited for industrial applications. It incorporates four reading heads to eliminate many common sources of encoder errors, while its stainless steel construction greatly enhances resistance to shock and vibration. It is designed for very precise positioning of rotary tables on machine tools, coordinate measuring machines, dividing apparatus, antennas, test equipment and similar devices. The 8460 incorporates an internal ASIC (application-specifi c integrated circuit) to generate quadrature square waves up to 50 times the line count on the disc. The 8460 is available in both shafted and hollow shaft versions, and is interchangeable with common competitive products.
