The IM28 magnetic incremental rotary encoder combines high-resolution magnetic sensing with a compact 28 mm housing, making it an excellent choice for applications where space is limited but reliable motion feedback is essential. Designed for packaging machinery, medical equipment, office automation, and light industrial systems, it delivers dependable performance even in challenging operating environments.
Unlike optical encoders, the IM28 uses magnetic sensing technology, allowing it to maintain stable performance in the presence of dust, vibration, and contaminants. In addition, it provides factory-programmable resolutions up to 20,000 pulses per revolution (PPR), enabling highly accurate speed and position feedback for demanding motion control applications.
The encoder supports Push-Pull, Line Driver, and Universal output circuits, making integration simple with PLCs, servo drives, and industrial controllers. You can also choose between an M12 inline connector or cable output, while 4 mm and 5 mm solid shaft options provide flexibility for different machine designs.
Built with a robust aluminum housing, the IM28 offers IP54 protection, operates at temperatures from -25°C to +85°C, and supports shaft speeds up to 3,000 rpm. Furthermore, it includes protection against reverse polarity and short circuits, ensuring reliable long-term operation in industrial environments.
