WCP ThroughBore Encoder Powered by CANcoder – Compact Rotary Sensor

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
