The 36 mm miniature optical absolute encoder delivers high-resolution single-turn position feedback for servo motors, robotics, and precision motion control. Its compact design, exceptional accuracy, and 20-bit optical resolution make it an ideal solution for applications where installation space is limited without sacrificing performance.
With a resolution of up to 1,048,576 counts per revolution (20-bit), the encoder provides precise absolute position data immediately after power-up, eliminating the need for homing procedures. As a result, it improves machine productivity while ensuring smooth, repeatable motion in high-performance automation systems.
The encoder supports both SSI and BiSS-C communication interfaces, allowing seamless integration with PLCs, servo drives, and advanced motion controllers. In addition, it is available with either a cable output or a compact M12 inline connector, making installation quick and flexible.
Built for demanding industrial environments, the encoder features a rugged 36 mm housing, IP67 protection against dust and water, and supports shaft speeds of up to 6,000 rpm. Consequently, it delivers reliable operation in servo motors, machine tools, robotics, and other precision automation applications.
