Autonics E40S6-360-3-N-24 Rotary Encoder
Autonics E40S6-360-3-N-24 Incremental Rotary Encoder (40 mm, Solid Shaft, 360 PPR, NPN)
Autonics E40S6-360-3-N-24 is a 40 mm solid-shaft incremental rotary encoder with 360 PPR resolution and A, B, and Z phase NPN open-collector output, designed for reliable speed and position feedback in standard industrial automation applications.
The Autonics E40S6-360-3-N-24is a 40 mm diameter incremental rotary encoder featuring a solid shaft (Ø 6 mm) and 360 pulses per revolution (PPR) resolution. It provides A, B, and Z phase outputs with an NPN open-collector output circuit, making it suitable for PLCs, counters, and control systems that require NPN signal inputs.
Operating on 12–24 V DC, this encoder is widely used in conveyors, packaging machines, and general automation equipment where moderate resolution and stable performance are required.
