EC35 Product Description

Restriction of Hazardous Substances

The EC35 quick assembly optical commutation encoder is designed for high volume, low cost, OEM motion control applications. The EC35 provides A/B/Z incremental outputs and U/V/W outputs for brushless motor commutation.

The EC35 is designed to be a one-time installation that mounts to the motor using 2 screws on a 1.28" or 1.812" diameter bolt circle. The precision machined encoder hubdisk pushes on when the encoder assembly is put on the motor shaft. This design securely grips the shaft without set screws. A built-in, removable spacer tool ensures that the encoder disk is automatically set to the correct gap when the encoder housing is mounted. The encoder can be "timed" by rotating a ring on the assembly and pressing the ring in with a simple tool to lock everything into place.

The EC35 is powered by a single 5V supply and comes with a 15-pin connector that provides differential outputs for A/B/Z and U/V/W. Open-collector U/V/W outputs are available as an option. The EC35 can obtain single-ended output by only using the + outputs of each differential pair. The internal 26C31 line drivers can source and sink 20 mA at TTL levels. The recommended differential receiver is the industry-standard 26C32. Maximum noise immunity is achieved when the differential receiver is terminated with a 150 Ω resistor in series with a .0047 μF capacitor placed across each differential pair.

Please Note: Due to the EC35's push-on hub design, it is recommended for use as a one-time installation.
