Autonics E40HB8-100-6-L-5 is built with a shaft inner diameter of Γ8mm and supports a maximum revolution speed of 5000rpm, making it suitable for high-speed rotary motion systems. It delivers 100 pulses per revolution (100P/R), ideal for applications that demand consistent but not ultra-fine resolution. The Line Driver output ensures signal integrity over longer cable lengths, and its 300kHz response frequency allows smooth tracking even during rapid motion. It runs on a 5VDC power supply (Β±5% ripple), meeting common industrial controller requirements. The radial cable connection type ensures safe routing in control panels, and its lightweight build at approximately 120g makes it easy to mount with minimal mechanical load.
The encoder is designed to perform in challenging shop-floor conditions. With a temperature range from -10Β°C to 70Β°C and humidity tolerance up to 85% RH, the device remains reliable across diverse climates. It is rated with IP50 protection, suitable for environments where minimal dust ingress is expected. The unit includes a factory-supplied mounting bracket, simplifying installation for maintenance engineers. With low starting torque (50gf.cm), it enables smooth operation in low-friction assemblies without adding significant load to the motor shaft.
E40HB8-100-6-L-5 is a preferred encoder in automated labeling equipment, textile machines, packaging systems, and simple conveyor monitoring tasks. For maintenance engineers, it offers straightforward installation and dependable feedback with minimal tuning required. Senior technicians value its stable performance during long operational cycles, while junior staff benefit from its ease of wiring and standardized signal outputs. This encoder is also ideal for training labs and industrial engineering projects, helping students understand rotational feedback mechanisms in real-world machinery.
