The IQ58 and IQ58S incremental rotary encoders provide flexible, high-precision motion feedback for industrial automation, packaging machinery, robotics, and servo systems. Featuring a 58 mm housing, these encoders allow users to program the resolution, counting direction, and index pulse using a USB programming kit, eliminating the need to stock multiple encoder variants.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the IQ58 series delivers programmable resolutions from 1 to 16,384 pulses per revolution (PPR). In addition, users can select a 90° or 180° electrical index pulse and configure the clockwise or counterclockwise counting direction to match their application requirements.
The encoder features a universal output circuit compatible with both Push-Pull and Line Driver systems, simplifying integration with PLCs, servo drives, CNC controllers, and industrial automation equipment. It is available in solid shaft (IQ58, IQ58S) and blind hollow shaft (CKQ series) versions, with M12 or M23 connectors or cable output for maximum installation flexibility.
Built with a rugged aluminum housing and IP65 protection, the IQ58 series supports shaft speeds up to 12,000 rpm and operates in temperatures from -25°C to +85°C. Furthermore, protection against reverse polarity and short circuits ensures reliable long-term operation in harsh industrial environments.
