The Autonics E50S8-360-6-L-24 is a 50 mm diameter incremental rotary encoder featuring a solid Ø 8 mm shaft and 360 pulses per revolution (PPR). It provides A/A̅, B/B̅, and Z/Z̅ differential outputs (line driver) and operates on 12–24 V DC, ensuring reliable signal transmission over long cable distances and in electrically noisy industrial environments.

This model is ideal for PLC, motion controller, and servo drive applications where stable encoder feedback is critical.
