Incremental rotary encoder 512 P/R

The Autonics E40S8-512-6-L-5 is an incremental rotary encoder that delivers 512 pulses per revolution. It operates on a 5 VDC supply with a line-driver output for noise-resistant signal transmission. A Ø8 mm shaft and radial cable connection simplify mounting in tight spaces.

Suited for precision motion feedback

This encoder suits applications needing accurate position or speed feedback such as CNC axes, packaging machines or servo-driven conveyors. It is not suited for buyers who require absolute position data at power-up, hollow-shaft mounting or an environmental rating higher than IP50.

300 kHz maximum response frequency

The encoder’s 300 kHz maximum response frequency sets the upper limit for usable pulse rates. At the maximum 5000 rpm mechanical speed the output stays within this limit, so the specification determines whether the encoder matches your controller’s input bandwidth.

Questions about this item

How many pulses per revolution does the 512 P/R rating actually deliver to the controller?

The encoder outputs 512 pulses per revolution, giving the controller 512 distinct position counts for each full turn of the shaft.

What does the line driver output limit in terms of cable length and noise immunity?

The line driver control output provides differential signals that resist electrical noise and support longer cable runs compared to single-ended outputs.

What shaft size and mounting clearance does the Ø8 mm specification require?

The unit fits an 8 mm diameter shaft and uses a radial cable exit, so allow space for the cable bend radius at the housing.
