From our trusted and reliable own brand RS PRO, this incremental rotary encoder with magnetic technology is ideal for a wide range of industrial automation applications that require precise measurement of speed, position and distance. This rotary encoder features a clamping flange design, offering versatile mounting options in machines and applications. With an aluminium powder coated housing, stainless steel shaft and IP65 rating this durable encoder is protected against corrosion and ingress of dust and moisture. This rotary encoder produces 500 PPR (pulses per revolution), utilising 2 ball precision bearings and is ideal for use in a variety of industrial automation applications.

Rotary encoders feature a rotary sensor technique and are used in a wide range of industrial automation applications, allowing for precise measurement of speed, position, angle and length of objects and components. Rotary encoders are commonly used in applications such as:

• Lifts


• Cranes


• Cleaning machines


• Road marking


• Wind energy

IP65 / CE / DIN EN 61000-4-2 / DIN EN 61000-4-4

For many years encoders with optical technology have been the industry standard and preferred type of encoders, utilising line of sight sensing to generate signals. However, in many heavy-duty industries this type of encoder is problematic as dust, debris and moisture can block the optical sensors and signals resulting in failure. This is where encoders with magnetic technology exceed, utilising magnets these types of rotary encoders are cost effective, accurate and ideal for use in areas where heavy vibrations, dust, humidity and heat sources are common.
