The high-quality SUCH miniature incremental rotary encoder features a 38mm housing diameter and an 8mm shaft diameter, with an IP51 waterproof rating. It can be used in industrial automation control and measurement applications such as robots, workbenches, injection molding machines, and printing and packaging machinery. The 1000 ppr incremental rotary encoder offers six output modes, optional operating voltages of 5V/8-30V, and an operating temperature range of -30~+85℃, making it flexible and suitable for various conditions.
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.
The purpose of an incremental encoder is to measure rotational speed, direction, and relative position of a rotating shaft. It generates pulses as the shaft turns, which can be counted to determine movement. Incremental encoders are commonly used in motor control, automation systems, and motion control applications where precise feedback is needed.
A miniature incremental encoder is suitable when you need to measure speed, direction, or relative position and do not require position retention after power loss. It is commonly used in motor control and cost-sensitive applications.
To test an incremental encoder, connect it to a power supply and measure the output signals (A and B channels) using a multimeter or oscilloscope while rotating the shaft. You should observe pulse signals that change with rotation speed and direction.
