Imagine what you can do with this!
Reduce the cost and size of your system, and increase its performance all at
once. MicroE Systems’ Mercury 1500 kit encoders are available in two
styles. The M1500S, an RS-422 compliant 15 pin standard D-sub connector
and the M1500H, an RS-422 compatible 5x2 micro-connector for tight
spaces. Simply stated, the M1500 is smaller, higher performance, faster to
install, and easier to use than any other encoder. The tiny sensor fits into
very tight spaces, has broad alignment tolerances for fast and easy setup
and works in both linear and rotary applications. The entire Mercury 1500S
encoder is EMI shielded for use in the toughest environments. With
standard digital A-quad-B output, select the Mercury 1500 encoder with the
resolution required by your application.
