1.2 Description
The NorthStar SLIM Tach

P
SL56 is a modular digital encoder. This magnetoresistive encoder sensor-based unit has been
designed for fast, easy mounting onto a standard NEMA 56C motor face. The basic design philosophy is as follows: The
encoder frame is mounted onto the C-face flange of a motor. This positions the sensor and contains the electronics. The
magnetic pulse wheel on the motor shaft has magnetic pulses imprinted on its outside surface. As the motor spins, the passing
magnetic pulses actuate the magnetoresistive sensor. The resulting electronic signals are processed into square wave signals by
the internal electronics.
