[SOLVED] encoder type and datasheet

[Atarek]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here, and i hope someone can help me with it,
I am designing a system that has a constraint of mechanical enclosure (very small) so i have to use very small parts, and i was looking for tiny motor encoder, but i didn't get much lucky,
I need to know what type or which model of encoder is the one shown in the picture below, and where can i find similar models of such encoders,



And of course if you recommend a certain manufacturer for such small encoders, that will be great,

Thanks in advance,
Ahmed Tarek

I'm not sure exactly what that is but it doesn't look like a motor encoder to me. Possibly an EMC supressor or a small ferrite transformer.

Thank you betwixt for the fast response, i think i figured out what it is ,
it is an optical encoder, (based on the optical proximity sensor theory), which comprises a transmitter, a receiver, and a body in from of the sensor with the shape of the disk ( it is responsible for reflecting the transmitter's light to the receiver unless the area where the disk body is dark,
