C58A-C58R Incremental encoder, an incremental position encoder for industrial automation.

C58A/C58R Incremental Optical Rotary Encoders

The C58A and C58R are incremental optical rotary encoders designed for motor feedback, industrial automation, and motion control systems. Their Ø58 mm housing and through-hollow shaft design provide accurate speed and position feedback while simplifying installation on AC and DC motors. As a result, they are an excellent choice for compact, high-performance motion systems.

Flexible Mounting and Reliable Feedback

The encoders deliver resolutions of up to 5,000 PPR for precise motion control. They also support Push-Pull, Line Driver, and Universal output circuits, making integration with PLCs, servo drives, and motion controllers simple. In addition, the C58A features a front-side fixing collar, while the C58R uses a back-side fixing collar, allowing engineers to choose the best mounting option for their application.

Built for Industrial Environments

The C58A/C58R supports shaft speeds of up to 6,000 RPM and accommodates 14 mm and 15 mm through-hollow shafts. Users can choose cable, M12, or M23 connector versions to match their installation requirements. Furthermore, the encoder withstands 250 g shock, 10 g vibration, and operates from –25°C to +85°C. An optional version extends the operating range to –40°C to +100°C and provides IP65 protection.

Typical Applications

The C58A and C58R combine compact dimensions, reliable optical sensing, and flexible mounting in one durable encoder. Therefore, they are ideal for AC and DC motors, conveyors, packaging machines, machine tools, material handling equipment, and factory automation.
