Light, medium-duty encoders
AutomationDirect's light- and medium-duty encoders are designed for small applications and feature reinforced aluminum die cast casing and have an operating temperature range of -10 to +70 C.
AutomationDirect's Koyo inch-size stainless steel solid-shaft light- and medium-duty encoders are effective for small applications.
The TRDA-2E series light-duty encoders have a 0.25-inch diameter stainless steel solid shaft and offer resolutions from 100 to 2,500 pulses per revolution. The encoders are fitted with a two-meter cable with tinned ends and are available with 12-24 V dc open-collector or 5 V dc line-driver outputs; the series provides up to 200 kHz response frequency.
The TRDA-20 series medium-duty encoders have a 0.375-inch diameter stainless steel solid shaft and offer resolutions from 100 to 2,500 pulses per revolution. The encoders are fitted with a two-meter cable with tinned ends and are available with 5-30 V dc totem-pole (push/pull) or 5 V dc line-driver outputs; the series provides up to 200 kHz response frequency.
The TRDA-25 series medium-duty encoders have a 0.375-in. dia. stainless steel solid shaft and offer resolutions from 100 to 2,500 pulses per revolution. Fitted with a military-style connector, these encoders also have a removable 2.5-inch round flange. Available with 5-30 V dc totem-pole (push/pull) or 5 V dc line-driver outputs, the series provides up to 200 kHz response frequency.
All TRDA encoders feature a reinforced aluminum die cast casing, have an operating temperature range of -10 to +70 C, and have no mounting restrictions. Flexible encoder couplings in aluminum and glass reinforced resin, servo mount brackets, mounting brackets and flanges also are available.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
