The Autonics E40S8-512-6-L-5-C is a 40 mm Incremental Rotary Encoder engineered for high-precision motion control. Featuring a shaft outer diameter of Γ8mm, it supports a maximum resolution of 512 pulses per revolution (P/R), enabling accurate signal feedback in fast-moving equipment. With a maximum response frequency of 300kHz and support for up to 5000rpm allowable revolution, it maintains performance even in dynamic and high-speed environments. Its Line Driver control output ensures stable signal transmission, operating with a 5VDC Β±5% power supply. Connection is simplified through the radial cable connector type, which allows secure integration into compact systems.
The encoder is protected by an IP50-rated housing and designed to perform in ambient temperatures ranging from -10 to 70β, with storage tolerance down to -25β and humidity levels up to 90% RH. The model includes standard accessories such as an Γ6mm coupling, with Γ8mm versions available separately. Weighing approximately 120g, the E40S8-512-6-L-5-C offers a lightweight yet durable design suitable for space-constrained control panels. Built with reinforced insulation and a noise-resistant signal structure, this encoder is a reliable choice for precise rotational feedback.
