Introducing the latest innovation from WestCoast Products & CTR Electronics! Building on the strength of our renowned CANcoder, the ThroughBore Encoder Powered by CANcoder offers the same advantages in a small, easy-to-mount package. This rotary sensor measures relative or absolute position of a shaft installed through the rotation portion of the device. Designed to make integration into standard FRC ecosystems easy, there are countless ways to utilize this sensor. Key Features: Direct Shaft Measurement: Off-axis magnet technology eliminates the need for mechanical coupling, reducing potential errors and failures. CAN Connectivity: Integrate with your robot's CAN bus for fast and efficient data transmission. Versatile Placement: Unlike traditional encoders, our ThroughBore Encoder can be mounted anywhere along your shaft, providing maximum flexibility in your design. Precision Measurement: Accurately measure angular position and velocity for precise control of your actuators. Technical Specifications Target Shaft Interface: 1/2" Hex Bore (with 3/8" hex counterbore on mounting holes) Sensing Technology: Off-axis magnetic encoding (zero backlash between sensor and shaft) Measurement Modes: Absolute and relative position sensing Mounting Geometry: 1.000" bolt center to bore center (aligned with standard WCP 1/2" pitch spacing) Fastener Compatibility: Recessed 3/8" hex counterbores hold standard #10-32 nylock nuts for one-wrench installation Form Factor: Compact footprint fits within the shadow of 1" wide structural tubing Mechanical Zero Alignment: Dual alignment notches match the hex bore to the outer case Connector Type: 6-pin latching Molex SL female port (supports CAN in/out and power in a single housing for daisy chaining) Diagnostics: Integrated LED light pipe for real-time encoder status Software & Bus Compatibility: Fully supported by CTR Electronics Phoenix software and Phoenix Pro Kit Contents (1) WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex bore) (1) 6-Pin Molex SL to CAN and Power Cable Experience the Future of Encoder Technology:The WCP ThroughBore Powered by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) is a must-have for robotics teams seeking the highest level of performance and reliability.
