Factory direct sales SUCH miniature optical incremental encoders. These encoders feature a stainless steel shaft and metal housing, are compact with a housing diameter of 38mm and a shaft diameter of 8mm, and are easy to install. The 400ppr compact rotary incremental encoder has selectable voltages of +5VDC/+8~30VDC, side cable output, selectable cable lengths of 1m/2m/3m/4m, and 6 output modes.
Note: * indicates optional parameters. You can select parameters from the drop-down list. Some custom parameters cannot be selected directly from the list. Please contact us for assistance.
A miniature optical incremental encoder is a compact position sensor that uses light and an encoder disk to generate pulses as the shaft rotates. It can provide relative position and speed feedback.
400 PPR (pulses per revolution) means that the encoder outputs 400 electrical pulses per 360° of shaft rotation. Higher PPR values provide finer motion resolution.
Each pulse represents a rotation angle of 360° / 400 = 0.9°. Using quadrature decoding (x4 mode), the effective step size can reach 1600 counts per revolution.
