Autonics E40HB8-240-6-L-5 is a compact and high-quality 40 mm incremental rotary encoder designed for efficient motion detection in industrial environments. It features a shaft inner diameter of Γ8mm and delivers a resolution of 240 pulses per revolution (P/R), making it ideal for medium-resolution speed and position monitoring tasks. This encoder can operate at speeds up to 5000 rpm, supported by a maximum response frequency of 300kHz, allowing accurate signal generation even in fast-moving systems. The Line Driver output ensures strong signal integrity, especially for long-distance transmission in electrically noisy conditions, and is powered by a 5VDC Β±5% supply with low ripple sensitivity.
Its radial cable connection and lightweight body of approximately 120g allow for quick and secure integration in a wide variety of automation setups. The IP50 protection rating helps protect internal components against dust, contributing to longer operational life. Designed to work reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -10Β°C to 70Β°C and humidity conditions from 35% to 85% RH, the encoder supports industrial needs across varying environmental conditions. The model is supplied with a durable bracket to simplify mounting in standard and custom configurations.
Common applications of the Autonics E40HB8-240-6-L-5 include automatic packaging lines, CNC systems, conveyor belts, motor-driven indexing tables, and robotic position feedback. Its balanced 240P/R resolution provides the accuracy needed for many automation tasks while maintaining fast signal response, reducing delays in control systems. Engineers working on cost-sensitive and space-constrained projects value this model for its reliability and ease of use. For training institutions and engineering labs, it also serves as an excellent teaching tool to demonstrate real-world encoder integration and signal decoding.
