Product type
Encoder sensors are devices that convert the position or motion of a shaft or axle into an electrical signal. They are commonly made from materials such as plastic, metal, and glass, depending on the application requirements. These sensors work by detecting changes in position and translating them into digital or analog signals, which can be used for monitoring and controlling machinery operations.
| Types | Incremental and absolute encoders |
| Output signal | Digital or analog |
| Resolution | Typically from 12 to 20 bits |
| Operating temperature range | -40°C to +85°C |
| Supply voltage | 5V to 30V DC |
| Mounting options | Shaft-mounted or flange-mounted |
| Protection rating | IP40 to IP67 |
When selecting encoder sensors, consider the type of encoder that best fits your application, whether incremental or absolute. It's essential to specify the required resolution, output signal type, and operating environment. Additionally, check for necessary certifications and protection ratings to ensure compatibility with your machinery. Quantities should be determined based on your project needs, and it's advisable to consult with suppliers for bulk pricing.
