The Model 260 Accu-Coder is an incremental rotary encoder designed for machine and motor applications, featuring a low-profile design with a bore up to 0.625" and available in blind hollow bore or thru-bore configurations. It employs an integral bearing set and an anti-backlash mounting system to ensure precise, stable operation with minimal shaft runout. The encoder uses Opto-ASIC technology for reliable signal output and supports up to 12-pole commutation for brushless servo motors. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to 120°C depending on configuration, with a maximum shaft speed of 7500 RPM. It offers IP50 or IP64 sealing, output formats including open collector, push-pull, and line driver, and supports resolutions from 1 to 10,000 CPR. Electrical protection includes reverse voltage and short-circuit immunity, and it meets BS EN61000-6-2, EN50081-2, and related EMC standards. The housing is made of non-corrosive material and weighs 3.5 oz typical.
The Model 260’s larger bore (up to 0.625") and low profile make it the perfect solution for many machine and motor applications. Available in two distinct formats – a blind hollow bore and a complete thru-bore – the Model 260 uses EPC’s pioneering Opto-ASIC design. The Model 260 also uses EPC’s innovative anti-backlash mounting system, allowing simple, reliable, and precise encoder attachment. Unlike traditional kit or modular encoder designs, its integral bearing set provides stable and consistent operation without concerns for axial or radial shaft runout. For brushless servo motor applications, the Model 260 can be specified with three 120° electrical phase tracks to provide up to 12-pole commutation feedback. The optional extended temperature capability allows servo motors to operate at higher power outputs and duty cycles.
