Datasensing INC1 Series

The INC1 Series provides an advanced family of incremental rotary encoders, engineered to deliver accurate position and speed feedback, high reliability in industrial environments, and flexible mounting options for varied machine applications. With high resolution counting, accurate phase output, wide voltage compatibility, and housing types suited for heavy-duty use, the INC1 ensures strong performance in conveyors, robotics, packaging lines and automated systems.

Design & Functionality

  • The INC1 encoders come in hollow-shaft and solid-shaft formats, enabling direct mounting on motors or driven axes without adapters.
  • Key capabilities include:
    β€’ High resolution outputs (e.g., 1000 pulses/rev or higher) suitable for precision motion control.
    β€’ Quadrature output (A/B, plus Z-index) for direction sensing and reference indexing.
    β€’ Wide supply voltage compatibility, often 5–30 V DC or 10–30 V DC, for integration flexibility.
    β€’ Robust industrial housing with IP67 and vibration/shock ratings designed for harsh environments.
    β€’ Easy electrical connection, with optional connector formats or cable leads for control integration.
  • The INC1 Series is particularly suited for demanding applications requiring precise feedback, motion control, and durable sensors that withstand machine-side conditions.

   Important: The INC1 Series is designed for high-resolution positional feedback, robust industrial durability, and direct mounting versatility β€” making it a top choice for automation systems requiring precise control.

Total Crossed Beams

(Adapted to represent full feedback coverage rather than literal optical beams)

  • The INC1 encoder’s full 360Β° detection field with quadrature channels ensures that every shaft rotation is accurately tracked.
  • This results in high repeatability, minimal position drift, and strong reliability in dynamic motion applications.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here interpreted as resolution (pulses per revolution) and shaft size variants)

  • Available resolutions such as 250, 500, 1000, 2048 pulses per revolution, allowing selection according to control system needs.
  • Shaft variants: solid shafts (e.g., Ø 6 mm, Ø 8 mm) or hollow shafts (e.g., Ø 10 mm, Ø 12 mm) to fit different axes and motors.
  • These variants allow you to match the INC1 encoder to your machine’s motion profile, mounting space, and resolution demands β€” providing design flexibility.

   Important: The variety of resolutions and shaft/mounting formats enables the INC1 Series to adapt from general positioning to high-accuracy motion control tasks.

Intrinsic Synchronism

  • The internal electronics of the INC1 encoder synchronize A/B channel outputs, Z-index pulse, and zero-mark signals within the device β€” no external timing module is required.
  • This intrinsic synchronization ensures consistent signal quality, low jitter, and straightforward integration into PLC or servo feedback systems.

Operational Advantages

  • High-precision feedback: delivers accurate position and speed measurement for automation control.
  • Industrial durability: robust construction, IP67 rating, designed for heavy-duty use.
  • Flexible mounting: solid and hollow-shaft options support a wide range of motor and axis configurations.
  • Simplified connectivity: outputs and configurations designed for ease of integration.
  • Applications: Robotics, motor feedback, conveyor indexing, packaging machinery, servo drives, factory automation lines β€” anywhere precision encoding, high reliability, and industrial robustness are required.
