How can I find a source for this component (in the US, or anywhere)? It's a rotary encoder used as an input to a microcontroller to rotate a motor shaft in small increments in a 10-year old German printing machine.
There are 32 detents per revolution. The unit includes a momentary pushbutton (when you push on the shaft there is click and tactile feedback).
I presume it's a gray-code quadrature output encoder. Optical? Mechanical? Only 5 of the pins are used. (Typically power, ground, channel 1, channel 2, ... ?)
Source? Data sheet?
Does this look like Klockner-Moeller? Or it may be Japanese -- the LCD display for this equipment is Hitachi.
Thanks, Dave
