The Autonics E40H8-1200-6-L-5 delivers precision performance with a resolution of 1200 pulses per revolution (P/R), ensuring accurate position and speed detection in demanding applications. It supports a shaft inner diameter of Γ8mm and operates at speeds up to 5000rpm, making it suitable for high-speed industrial systems. The encoder provides differential signal output via Line Driver configuration with A, B, Z channels and complementary phases (A^, B^, Z^), enhancing signal integrity over long distances or in electrically noisy environments. With a 300kHz response frequency and a stable 5VDC Β±5% power input, this model ensures rapid and consistent pulse generation. It features a radial cable connection for easy integration, and its IP50-rated enclosure offers basic protection against dust ingress. The unit is compact and lightweight at approximately 120g, and is built to perform reliably across ambient conditions ranging from -10Β°C to 70Β°C and humidity levels up to 85% RH.
Built with Autonics' engineering excellence, the E40H8-1200-6-L-5 stands out in environments where high resolution and low signal distortion are critical. Itβs trusted by automation professionals for its accurate quadrature output, reliable torque load characteristics, and ease of installation with standard brackets. Its low starting torque of 50gf.cm ensures smooth motion sensing, even at startup. For OEMs, machine builders, and control panel designers, it offers long-term performance with minimal maintenance. Engineers value the encoder's compatibility with PLCs and motion controllers, while its signal clarity helps reduce errors in high-precision feedback loops.
In real-world applications, the Autonics 40 mm Incremental Rotary Encoder is commonly used in CNC machines, robotic arms, high-speed packaging lines, and automated material handling systems. Maintenance engineers deploy it for tasks like rotational feedback, angular positioning, or shaft monitoring in electric drives. For students and junior engineers, this encoder provides a practical learning experience in interpreting differential signals and integrating feedback loops. Its 1200P/R resolution enables refined motion control, while the Line Driver output ensures interference-free operation across extended cable lengths. If your automation setup demands high-speed and high-resolution feedback, the E40H8-1200-6-L-5 is an ideal fit. For complete documentation and specs, visit the official Autonics product page.
