The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital’s proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device‑hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital’s strong reputation for reliable, field‑tested encoders.
The L2 is US Digital’s lowest‑height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt‑spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1 250 CPR (5 000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 is only available with a single‑ended output.
Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high‑retention connector or cable (sold separately).
Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to technical and customer‑service teams with same‑day shipping on most orders. US Digital is now accepting orders for the L2 for worldwide shipping.
