Product Description:

The 2200601002 encoder is a rotary incremental feedback unit manufactured by Danaher for the Dynapar Encoders series. Mounted on a 3/8-inch, single-ended shaft, it produces open-collector switching signals that downstream drives or PLC counters interpret to calculate rotation. By converting mechanical motion into digital pulse streams, the device supplies real-time position and speed data for closed-loop control in automated conveyors, packaging equipment, and light machine tools.

The encoder has a resolution of 60 PPR, meaning each revolution generates sixty rising-edge events per channel for usable count density. Signals are organized in a two-channel quadrature (AB) format, allowing direction recognition because channels A and B are phase-shifted. With the factory orientation, channel A leads channel B during clockwise rotation, producing a distinct sequence that controllers use to determine direction. The angular displacement between channels is held to 90° ± 18°, a tolerance that maintains duty-cycle balance and minimizes decoding errors at speed. The sensing electronics respond at frequencies of at least 120 kHz, helping prevent missed counts near the mechanical speed limit. A built-in 2.2 kΩ pull-up resistor allows the outputs to connect directly to 5-volt logic without additional components.

The device draws a maximum of 110 mA from the power rail, so multiple units can share a small regulated supply without creating excessive demand. The acceptable operating voltage extends up to 26 VDC, providing tolerance for control panels that distribute unregulated field power. Each channel has a maximum 40 mA sink current, which is sufficient to drive opto-isolators or transmit signals over longer cable runs while maintaining signal integrity. The code wheel and bearings support a maximum speed of 6,000 rpm, making the encoder suitable for medium-speed motors. This speed limit also helps prevent overspeed errors as the electrical response ceiling is approached.
