The Autonics E40S6-400-6-L-5-C is a robust 40 mm Incremental Rotary Encoder built to deliver consistent and accurate position feedback in high-speed automation environments. It features a resolution of 400 pulses per revolution (P/R), making it suitable for basic to mid-level precision applications. Its Γ6mm shaft diameter supports smooth rotation with a low starting torque of 40 gf.cm, and can handle a maximum operating speed of 5000 rpm. With a high-speed response frequency of 300kHz, this encoder ensures real-time feedback without signal loss, especially in servo systems or synchronized drives. The model supports Line Driver output with complementary phases (A, B, Z and @(A^), @(B^), @(Z^)) for accurate differential signal transmission, reducing electrical noise and improving signal stability over longer cable runs. It operates on a stabilized 5VDC Β±5% power supply and features a radial cable connector for compact panel or motor-side installations.
The encoder is enclosed in a compact, durable body with an IP50 protection rating, which offers solid resistance to dust particles in controlled environments. Its wide operational temperature range of -10Β°C to 70Β°C and storage tolerance up to 85Β°C ensure reliable performance in typical Indian factory conditions. Humidity resistance (up to 85% RH operational, 90% RH in storage) adds further resilience. Its compact size, weight of only 120g, and included Γ6mm coupling (with optional Γ8mm variant) make installation flexible for both OEMs and maintenance engineers. Every feature of this encoderβfrom signal output to physical buildβis optimized to ensure long-term stability, signal integrity, and system compatibility in automation workflows.
The E40S6-400-6-L-5-C Incremental Encoder is commonly used in automated conveyors, servo motor systems, textile machines, printing presses, small-scale robotics, and laboratory automation setups. For junior engineers, its clear output signal and labeled wiring make setup quick and error-free. Senior technicians value the differential Line Driver signals for noise-resistant communication in long cable applications. In CNC retrofits and motor upgrades, this encoder helps achieve consistent positioning at every cycle. Engineering colleges use it in labs to demonstrate encoder principles like quadrature output, phase difference, and edge detection. The encoder supports practical industrial requirements and academic understanding alike. For full product documentation, visit the official Autonics product page.
