ENCODER – CAP40-01
Brand : Codechamp
The CAP40-01 is a single-turn absolute optical encoder in a “pancake” design, specifically developed for applications requiring high precision in a compact form factor. With a diameter of 100 mm and a height of just 40 mm, it combines high resolution, industrial reliability and simplified integration into space-constrained environments.
The CAP40-01 offers a resolution of up to 23 bits and an accuracy of ±5″, ensuring fine and stable angular measurement over 360°. Its SSI2 / SSI serial output provides fast and reliable digital transmission, while its +5 V supply ensures direct compatibility with most control and automation systems.
Note: Its ultra-flat “pancake” design makes it the ideal choice for applications where space is limited, without compromising on performance.
