Autonics E50S8-3600-6-L-5 Rotary Encoder
Autonics E50S8-3600-6-L-5 Incremental Rotary Encoder (50 mm, Solid Shaft, Line Driver, 3600 PPR)
Autonics E50S8-3600-6-L-5 is a 50 mm solid-shaft incremental rotary encoder with 3600 PPR ultra-high resolution and line driver (differential) output, ideal for long-distance, noise-immune precision motion control.
The Autonics E50S8-3600-6-L-5 is a 50 mm diameter incremental rotary encoder with a solid Ø 8 mm shaft and 3600 pulses per revolution (PPR). It delivers A/A̅, B/B̅, and Z/Z̅ differential (line driver) outputs, enabling stable signal transmission over long cable runs and in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Powered by 5 V DC, this encoder is designed for CNC machines, servo systems, high-precision positioning equipment, and advanced motion-control applications.
