Encoder Signal Connectors for Servo Feedback Systems

Servo feedback only works when the signal arrives clean, and the encoder connector plays a bigger part in that than it often gets credit for. AP Technology supplies shielded circular signal connectors for encoder and feedback systems on servo driven machinery. They are widely used on motors, resolvers and feedback devices across automation equipment. Matching the connector with the correct feedback cable and screen termination reduces the chance of intermittent faults, which are among the most frustrating problems on any machine. The Intercontec signal connector range is used to transmit signals, control motors and monitor complex machines. AP Technology is the UK distributor and supplies the range across drive systems, robotics, mechanical engineering, automation, packaging and printing, aerospace, transport, shipbuilding, renewable energy, stage equipment, food and textiles. Various pin configurations and housing types are available to suit the application. The 623 series M23 is one of the broadest signal ranges available, with eight body styles for cable and panel mounting and eight insert styles from 6 up to 19 contacts.

It is UL listed and VDE approved, with crimp or solder contacts and a clamping range of Ø3.5 to Ø14.7mm. Couplings can be a screw thread or the patented Speedtec quick lock system. If you are looking to reduce vendors, AP Technology's cross referral service can review existing part numbers or a full bill of materials and recommend suitable alternatives from its line card. Data sheets, samples and costs follow, so a switch can be judged on real information. Partner brands include Intercontec, Bimed, Tecnikabel, TKD, ILME and Hugro.
