The 36 mm miniature optical multi-turn encoder delivers high-resolution absolute position feedback for servo motors, robotics, CNC machinery, and precision automation. Its compact design, 20-bit single-turn resolution, and 12-bit multi-turn capability provide accurate position tracking over multiple revolutions while fitting easily into space-constrained applications.
With a resolution of 1,048,576 counts per revolution (20 bit) and 4,096 multiturn counts (12 bit), the encoder maintains precise position information even after power loss. As a result, it eliminates homing procedures, reduces machine downtime, and improves overall system efficiency.
The encoder supports both SSI and BiSS-C communication interfaces, ensuring fast and reliable data exchange with PLCs, servo drives, and motion controllers. In addition, users can choose between a cable output or an M12 inline connector, allowing flexible installation across a wide range of industrial systems.
Designed for harsh environments, the encoder features a compact 36 mm housing, IP67 protection, and shaft diameters of 6 mm or 6.35 mm. It also supports shaft speeds of up to 6,000 rpm, making it ideal for high-speed, high-precision motion control.
