DRC Encoder
MODEL TK91
Incremental Optical
Modular Rotary Encoder
• One step gapping lever
• Up to 1250 cycles per revolution ( 5000 counts )
• Frequency response up to 200 KHz all channels
• Operating temperature range up to + 85° C
• Available in both English and Metric hub sizes
• Many output options available from Differential Line Driver to Amplified Analog
The Model TK91 series is an incremental optical rotary kit style encoder. The TK91
was developed to offer an easy to install, highly reliable, low profile kit encoder.
The unique one step lever mechanism pre-sets the internal gap. The TK 91
measures 1.5 x .81 inches and is available with single ended TTL, Differential
RS422 Line Driver, Open Collector and Differential Amplified Analog. The hub and
disk assembly is captivated within the unit and is available in thirteen different I.D.’s
allowing use with both English or Metric dimensioned shafts. The encoder has a
standard operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, and has an option for
operating up to +85° C. This encoder is pre-aligned and pre-gapped at the factory
to make customer installation time under one minute.

ELECTRICAL
Resolution range: Up to 1250 cycles per shaft revolution, ( 5000 counts after quadrature).
Light source: Gallium aluminum arsenide L.E.D. rated @ 100,000 Hrs. MTBF (mfg’s spec).
Light sensor: Monolithic Photodiode array.
Excitation voltage: +5Vdc, +12Vdc, and +15Vdc ± 5%, Also variable voltage +5 to +24 Vdc.
Output format: Two count channels ( A & B ) in phase quadrature with an optional ZR output.
Quadrature: 90° ± 45° ( at 10 KHz output frequency ).
Symmetry: 180° ± 18° ( at 10 KHz output frequency ).
Rise and fall time: 1 microsecond max. into 1,000pf load capacitance.
Frequency response: DC to 100 KHz max. 200 KHz for output circuitry types 1 and 6.
Zero reference width: 1± 1/2 cycle, 1/4 cycle or 1/2 cycle gated, depending on electronic configuration.
ZR alignment: Full cycle: output type 1 no alignment between ZR and count channels.
All other output types: Center of ZR aligns between 90° and 180° of channel A.
1/2 cycle aligns with negative transition of channel B.
1/4 cycle aligns with both A & B high.
Phase sense: Channel A leads Channel B for counterclockwise rotation of the shaft,
as viewed from the cover side of the unit.
Output: See part number table for available output options.
