Products for USB Sensing and Control
Replaced by the 3532_1 - Hollow Shaft Optical Encoder, the same encoder but with a Phidget encoder cable connector.
This sturdy optical quadrature encoder can be attached to the 8mm rear shaft of a motor without need for a shaft coupler. It has 360 counts (full quadrature cycles) per rotation and can be installed easily by fitting it over the shaft and tightening the set-screw. This encoder makes use of the index channel, sending one pulse for every full rotation.
This quadrature encoder can be read by an encoder interface by fitting the end of the cable with the appropriate connector. See the Connection & Compatibility tab for details.
This quadrature encoder must be read by an encoder interface. These interfaces will interpret the two quadrature signals in order to determine the continuous position of the rotating part. The following interfaces are compatible with this encoder:

You can easily connect this encoder to a Phidgets encoder interface by cutting the end off of a Phidget encoder cable and soldering the wires to the encoder as described in this table. Below you'll find a list of available encoder cables:

Alternatively, you could buy the male connector (Molex part 50-57-9405), and crimp it onto the end of the cable, if you have the appropriate tools.
