CUI introduces ACZ flexible mechanical encoders
CUI
ACZ flexible mechanical encoders
CUI's new line of flexible mechanical encoders can be configured into more than 1,000 different versions.
The two-bit quadrature ACZ series is available in three sizes: 11mm (ACZ11), 12mm (ACZ12) and 16mm (ACZ16).
The encoders have a rotational life of up to 100,000 cycles and are rugged, utilising metal material where similar models would use plastic.
This series is ideal in applications for audio, aircraft, medical and test equipment.
Options for the ACZ series include detent, a push button, vertical or right-angle mounting and numerous shaft configurations.
Resolutions available include 12, 15, 20 and 24 PPR.
CUI can also customise rotational torque to meet a customer's exact tactile feel requirements.
The ACZ series is available now through Digi-Key.
OEM quantities are available directly from CUI.
