General Description:

The RM21 Series is a highly reliable, low cost bearingless (modular) encoder built using SMT technology.

The 1-2-3 set-up simplifies troublesome features of typical modular encoders. With a single push on the slide/lock mechanism, the RM21 is aligned, centered and gapped for maximum performance.

No adjustments are required and no mechanical rubbing exists once installed. The cover has an integral positive locking mechanism to eliminate mounting hardware. Sensors are set up differentially under a single LED light source.
