Overview
The Encoder Products 220C-0C is a proven incremental shaft encoder from EPC’s Accu-Coder line. Operating at 5VDC, this optical encoder produces 180 counts per revolution (CPR) and delivers accurate position and speed feedback for industrial automation, motion control, and machinery monitoring applications. Though discontinued by the manufacturer, this classic unit remains widely used in retrofit and replacement scenarios.
