CP-500 Incremental Sine/Cosine, CP-550 Digital Incremental & Absolute.
The CP-500 series hollow shaft encoder is a small, rugged device, with a package form factor of a 39 mm stepper motor. Maximum possible shaft size is 11 mm with set-screw mount, 12.7 mm with "end of shaft" mounting . The commutating versions [CP-5(X)5 series] are specifically designed to commutate brushless DC motors. The encoder light source is a single light emitting diode, servo controlled for constant light output over time and temperature, the sensor is a monolithic silicon array.
The package supports a wide variety of electronics: incremental, incremental with three bits absolute, as well as 8 and 10 bits absolute. The sine/cosine versions allow a high degree of interpolation because of the low distortion waveform for extremely accurate positioning and speed control. The CP-515 sine/cosine version is Burr-Brown ADS 7833 and VeCon chip compatible.

CP-5(X)5 Commutating Series.
The CP-515 hollow shaft encoder is a special version commutating encoder specifically designed to be compatible with the VeCon motion controller system as well as with the Burr-Browntm simultaneous A to D converter array chip. Discrete commutation signals are provided for use with brushless DC motors to improve the commutation accuracy over that of "Hall" switches.
The encoder light source is a single light emitting diode, servo controlled for constant light output over time and temperature, the sensor is a monolithic silicon array.
Options:
- custom linecounts, pole counts and index configurations
- custom cable and spring configurations
- available for motor cavity mount without cover and 14 pin PCB mount connector
- absolute accuracy and sinewave distortion plots
- available with a 10 pin (no complementary digital signals) or 14 pin (full complementary digital signals) connector
The CP-545 hollow shaft encoder is a special version commutating encoder specifically designed to be compatible with the VeCon motion controller system as well as with the Burr-Browntm simultaneous A to D converter array chip. Commutation signals are provided in the form of a sine/cosine signal that occurs once per revolution, equivalent to a resolver signal. This signal can be resolved into absolute position information to be used for any polecount motor commutation.
