DRC Encoders

Based on 45 years of field-proven reliability and performance, DRC incremental encoders are well known for fast and easy installation using industry-standard mechanical and electrical interfaces. Choose from sealed or kit-style rotary encoders, kit-style linear encoders, or sealed linear length gages featuring:

• Optical encoder technology with LED light source for long life and highest performance
• Differential digital outputs with available zero reference
• Custom versions available for OEM applications

Sealed Rotary Shaft and Hollow Shaft Encoders
Rugged, reliable incremental rotary encoders in sealed metal housings:

• Industry-standard mechanical and electrical interfaces for bolt-in-place, 'plug and play' installation
• Reliable, long-life designs with integral bearings and sealed metal enclosures
• Resolutions from 400 to 360,000 Counts Per Rev., with a wide range of shaft / coupling sizes, mounting options,
connector styles and cable lengths

• High accuracy, high temperature, high shaft load and extra high vibration-resistant models

	Kit-style Rotary Encoders for Motors Reliable, easy to install incremental rotary encoders for motors: Sizes available for a wide range of shaft diameters Resolutions from 400 to 100,000 Counts Per Rev., with a wide range of shaft / coupling sizes
	Kit-style Linear Encoders Compact, easy to install incremental linear encoders featuring: Screw-mount sensors Glass scales for accuracy and thermal repeatability Resolutions from 10µm to 0.5µm Measuring lengths up to 1.2m (48") Center or end index (reference) marks

Sealed Linear Length Gages
Linear length gages are easy to mount and have a sealed linear encoder with a spring-loaded probe:

• Screw-mount housing mounts to any flat surface
• Integral high-precision linear guideway
• Glass scales for accuracy and thermal repeatability
• Resolutions from 2.5µm to 1µm

Custom Encoders
Available for OEM applications, DRC encoders can be engineered for:

• Unique customer shaft sizes, mounting configurations, cable and connector requirements
• High resolution, temperature, and accuracy capabilities
• Unusual environmental requirement

For applications requiring shielded, high-resolution encoders:
Choose from over 24 models in the Mercury(tm) family of encoders for the following requirements:

• Higher resolution or accuracy
• High EMI environments such as linear motors
• Space constraints where the encoder will be located
