The EAM280 - Analog encoder from Baumer is built for applications demanding precision in a small form factor. It supports multiple analog output signals including 0...10 V, 0.5...4.5 V, and 4...20 mA, with a high-resolution 12-bit output. Operating on flexible voltage supplies from 5 VDC ±10% to 8...30 VDC and 12...30 VDC, it ensures compatibility with various PLCs and analog controllers. The encoder features a solid shaft with flat ø6 mm, using a push-on coupling for easy installation. It delivers a singleturn absolute position with ±1.8° accuracy at +25°C, using a magnetic sensing method for reliable operation across harsh environments.
Housed in reinforced plastic and fitted with a stainless steel shaft, the encoder withstands vibrations up to 20 g and shock up to 50 g, as per EN 60068 standards. With a compact ø48 mm flange and a low profile of 28.6 mm, it's ideal for machinery where space is limited. The unit operates smoothly up to 120 rpm and is protected under IP65/IP67 ratings, ensuring resistance to dust and moisture. A 0.3 m radial cable connection simplifies integration and ensures stable analog signal transmission.
The Baumer EAM280 - Analog encoder is perfect for industrial machines that require accurate angle feedback in a compact size. It's commonly used in textile machinery, packaging lines, lab automation setups, and compact CNC or servo systems where analog feedback is essential for smooth motion control. The magnetic sensing allows for high durability, even in dusty or humid environments, and its low starting torque design minimizes mechanical stress on drive components. Whether you're controlling a valve position, monitoring a spindle angle, or adjusting a linear actuator, the EAM280 ensures precise and stable feedback—enabling better automation performance with minimal maintenance.
