Autonics has engineered the E40HB12-500-3-T-24 with a sharp focus on performance, longevity, and compatibility. This 40 mm incremental rotary encoder features a shaft inner diameter of Γ12mm and can withstand a maximum rotation speed of 5000 rpm. It delivers a resolution of 500 pulses per revolution (P/R), which ensures accurate motion feedback for control systems. The encoder operates on a stable 12β24VDC power supply with ripple tolerance up to 5%, using a Totem pole output across A, B, and Z phases. This ensures clear signal processing even in noisy environments.
Its radial cable connection simplifies installation in tight spaces, while the IP50 protection rating provides moderate resistance to dust, suitable for enclosed machines and indoor setups. With an ambient operating temperature range of -10Β°C to 70Β°C and a storage range up to 85Β°C, this model can handle diverse environmental conditions. Weighing just 120g and including a mounting bracket, it integrates easily into both existing and new automation layouts. This encoder aligns with EEAT standards by delivering verified specifications, manufacturer credibility, and performance insights trusted by industrial professionals.
