    The M3 Universal Optical Encoder was introduced to make it easy to get an encoder on a motor or roll shaft even if it was not designed with an accessory shaft/mount. The clean signals coupled with time tested performance make the M3 an easy choice in applications where ambient conditions are controlled but there may be occasional dust or occasional condensation. Two Foot Mounting brackets are offered to take advantage of drilled holes used with older Avtron Classic Optical Encoders, analog tachogenerators, and competitor's foot mounted encoders.

    A truly universal design to make your life easier when applying an encoder to your applications.
