Autonics E50S8-2500-6-L-5 Incremental Rotary Encoder (50 mm, Solid Shaft, Line Driver, 2500 PPR)
Autonics E50S8-2500-6-L-5 is a 50 mm solid-shaft incremental rotary encoder with 2500 PPR high resolution and line driver (differential) output, ideal for long-distance, high-noise industrial motion control applications.
The Autonics E50S8-2500-6-L-5 is a 50 mm diameter incremental rotary encoder with a solid Ø 8 mm shaft and 2500 pulses per revolution (PPR). It provides A/A̅, B/B̅, and Z/Z̅ differential (line driver) outputs, enabling stable signal transmission over long cable distances and excellent immunity to electrical noise.
Powered by 5 V DC, this encoder is well suited for CNC machines, servo systems, precision positioning equipment, and high-speed automation.
