Incremental encoder 2500 P/R

The Autonics E40S6-2500-6-L-5 is an incremental rotary encoder with a resolution of 2500 pulses per revolution. It uses a line-driver control output powered by a 5VDC supply with a five-percent tolerance. The unit has a six-millimetre shaft and a radial cable connection. Its protection rating is IP50.

Fit for position feedback

This encoder suits motion-control systems that need precise position or speed feedback at up to 300kHz response frequency and 5000rpm maximum speed. Starting torque is limited to 40gf·cm. Buyers who need absolute position data or a hollow-shaft design should look elsewhere.

Line-driver output at 5VDC

The line-driver output at 5VDC determines compatibility with the receiving controller or counter module. Verify that your input stage accepts differential line-driver signals before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the Ø6 mm shaft or the internal bearings need periodic replacement on the E40S6-2500-6-L-5?

The encoder is a sealed incremental unit with a 6 mm shaft; no user-serviceable bearings are specified, so replacement would mean swapping the whole device if wear occurs.

What stops the E40S6-2500-6-L-5 from running faster during continuous operation?

The mechanical ceiling is 5000 rpm; above that speed the internal components exceed their rated limit even though the line-driver output can handle 300 kHz electrically.

How much heat or noise does the E40S6-2500-6-L-5 generate when powered at 5 VDC all day?

At 5 VDC ±5 % the current draw is low and the starting torque is only 40 gf·cm, so the unit runs cool and produces negligible audible noise in an IP50 housing.
