Blind Hollow Shaft Incremental Encoders
Blind hollow shaft incremental encoders are vital components in motion control systems, providing accurate feedback on position, speed, and direction. These encoders are designed with a hollow shaft that allows them to be mounted directly onto the motor shaft, without the need for additional couplings.Â
The term “blind” refers to the design where the shaft does not extend through the encoder, making installation quick and straightforward. This space-efficient configuration is ideal for applications where space is limited or where a compact solution is needed.
