Autonics E40HB6-250-6-L-5 is a 40 mm incremental rotary encoder engineered for high-accuracy position detection. It features a shaft inner diameter of Γ6mm and a resolution of 250 pulses per revolution (P/R), ideal for low- to medium-resolution feedback needs. The device handles up to 5000rpm and offers a maximum response frequency of 300kHz, enabling reliable performance in high-speed applications. Its Line Driver control output ensures strong signal integrity, especially in electrically noisy environments, while a 5VDC Β±5% regulated power input provides stable operation. The encoder is housed in an IP50-rated enclosure and comes with a radial cable type connection for easy installation. Weighing only 120g, it includes a bracket for secure mounting and offers smooth startup with low starting torque (max. 0.0049NΒ·m).
The E40HB6-250-6-L-5 encoder operates reliably within a temperature range of -10Β°C to 70Β°C, with storage tolerance down to -25Β°C. It performs well under varying humidity conditions (35% to 85% RH operating range), making it a durable choice for workshops, control panels, and factory environments. Its robust electronics and precise mechanics make it a trusted component in applications requiring repeatable accuracy, consistent uptime, and maintenance-free service life. Many Indian automation engineers trust Autonics encoders for their quality, availability, and service support.
The Autonics E40HB6-250-6-L-5 is widely used in conveyor tracking systems, textile equipment, industrial printing machines, and basic CNC applications. It enables motion feedback in systems where position, speed, or rotation needs to be monitored with moderate resolution. Junior and senior maintenance engineers appreciate its hassle-free performance and simple integration with PLCs or motion controllers. For students and entry-level technicians, it provides a clear and reliable example of encoder feedback in real-world automation scenarios. Overall, this model is a solid, cost-effective choice when balancing precision, durability, and ease of use.
