Overview and Features

The WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) is a product developed in conjunction with Cross the Road Electronics. This rotary sensor allows teams to measure relative or absolute position of a shaft installed through the rotation portion of the device. Designed to make integration into standard FRC ecosystems a breeze, there are countless ways to utilize this sensor.

Features

  • Off-axis encoding technology

  • No backlash between sensor and sensing element

  • Small footprint, fits in the shadow of 1” wide structure

  • Mechanical zero that aligns to both notches of the hex bore and the outer case

  • LED light pipe to display state of the encoder

  • Latching Molex SL connector, with cable included

  • Compatible with CTR software and Phoenix Pro

Physical Specifications

Alignment Notch

The WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) features an alignment notch to help with clocking the 1/2" Hex shaft, an LED light pipe to display the state of the encoder, and a 6-pin Molex SL female connecter for simplified wiring.

Overall Dimensions

The WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) is designed to have a minimal footprint while giving teams a practical mounting solution with the mounting bolt location being 1" from the center of the 1/2" hex bore. This means that the encoder is in line with WCP's Standards. In addition, there is a 3/8" hex counterbore on either side of this mount hole, allowing it to hold a standard #10-32 nylock nut in place, eliminating the need for a wrench to hold a nut in place when mounting the sensor.

Port Overview

The 6-pin Molex SL port allows you to power the WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) while having CAN Input and CAN output in the same housing, making daisy chaining a breeze.
