Autonics E50S8-3600-3-T-1 Rotary Encoder
Autonics E50S8-3600-3-T-1 Incremental Rotary Encoder (50 mm, Solid Shaft, 3600 PPR)
Autonics E50S8-3600-3-T-1 is a 50 mm solid-shaft incremental rotary encoder with 3600 PPR high resolution and A, B, Z totem-pole output, designed for very fine speed and position feedback in precision industrial automation.
The Autonics E50S8-3600-3-T-1 is a 50 mm diameter incremental rotary encoder with a solid Ø 8 mm shaft and an ultra-high resolution of 3600 pulses per revolution (PPR). It provides A, B, and Z phase outputs through a totem-pole output circuit, enabling fast signal switching and compatibility with PLCs, counters, and motion controllers.
This model is suitable for applications requiring very precise position and speed measurement, such as indexing, servo-assisted systems, and precision automation equipment.
