Series 21/22
APPLICATION/INDUSTRY
The Series 21/22 QUBE encoder is designed
for application in industrial environments, and
is stable in temperatures from 0 to 70 C.
• Measuring, cut-to-length or size for textile,
metal, lumber and rubber industries
• Tracking, storage & retrieval, pick & place,
conveying, and elevating for material handling
applications
• Winding, including films, foils, wire and
extrusions
• Measuring mechanical motion for process-
ing, labeling, filling, mixing, batching, and
packaging
• Position control, for flexible and automatic
assembly equipment
• Speed feedback, for precise drive and
machine monitoring and control
DESCRIPTION
The Series 21/22 QUBE generates digital
incremental position data proportional to shaft
rotation. Through higher mechanical and
electronic operating speeds, the Series 21/22
QUBE can boost system speeds, cycle times,
and productivity.
Its general-purpose design makes the Series
21/22 QUBE compatible with most program-
mable controllers, electronic counters, motion
controllers, and motor drives. The Series 21/22
QUBE is electrically and physically inter-
changeable with most cube-style encoders on
the market. It can easily be applied with belts
and pulleys, leadscrews, rack and pinions,
lineshafts, etc..
