The Autonics E20HB3-360-3-N-5-R offers reliable performance in demanding automation environments. It features a shaft inner diameter of Ø3mm and supports a maximum revolution speed of 6000rpm, making it suitable for high-speed motion applications. The resolution of 360 pulses per revolution (360P/R) allows precise tracking of angular displacement across A, B, and Z output phases. Designed with an NPN open collector output, this encoder delivers consistent pulse signals when paired with digital counters, PLCs, or microcontrollers. Powered by a 5VDC supply with ±5% tolerance, it ensures stable and interference-free operation in control panels and industrial systems.
The encoder includes an axial cable connection for neat, space-saving wiring, while its IP50-rated housing protects internal components from light dust exposure. It performs reliably in ambient conditions ranging from -10°C to 70°C and humidity levels of 35% to 85% RH, making it a dependable choice for most indoor factory settings. Weighing just 35g, the model is lightweight and easy to mount using the provided bracket, facilitating smooth integration into control systems.
