Autonics E40S6-360-3-T-24 Rotary Encoder
Autonics E40S6-360-3-T-24 Incremental Rotary Encoder (40 mm, Solid Shaft, 360 PPR, Totem-Pole)
Autonics E40S6-360-3-T-24 is a 40 mm solid-shaft incremental rotary encoder with 360 PPR resolution and A, B, Z phase totem-pole output, ideal for reliable speed and position feedback in industrial automation.
The Autonics E40S6-360-3-T-24 is a 40 mm diameter incremental rotary encoder with a solid shaft (Ø 6 mm) and 360 pulses per revolution (PPR). It provides A, B, and Z phase outputs using a totem-pole output circuit, ensuring fast switching and compatibility with a wide range of PLCs, counters, and motion controllers.
Operating on 12–24 V DC, this encoder is suitable for conveyors, packaging machines, and general-purpose automation where stable and cost-effective feedback is required.
