January 2, 2008 - A standard line of rotary encoder collars that can be mounted on virtually any shaft to provide speed sensing capability from their O.D. or face is available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, Massachusetts.
Stafford Rotary Encoder Collars mount directly onto any shaft and feature corner-mounted steel targets which allow speed sensing from the O.D. or face using a variable reluctance sensor. Made of anodized aluminum, these fully split two-piece designs come in 11 standard sizes from 1/2” I.D. x 2” O.D. up to 3” I.D. x 4-1/2” O.D. and either 12, 20, or 24 steel targets.
Unaffected by oils and coolants, Stafford Rotary Encoder Collars are suited for a wide range of new and retrofit applications. Options include electromagnetic sensor mounting assemblies that are compatible with all popular sensors. Special bore configurations, target locations, and custom sizes for shafts up to 10” O.D. are also offered.
Stafford Rotary Encoder Collars are priced according to size and quantity. Literature is available upon request.
