Absolute rotary encoder for position feedback

The Autonics E50S8-2048-3-T-24 is an absolute rotary encoder delivering 2048 pulses per revolution. It suits automation engineers and machine builders who need reliable shaft-angle data for servo drives or PLC inputs. The unit operates on a 12-24VDC supply with a ±5% tolerance and draws a low starting torque of 70gf.cm.

Axial cable connection with IP50 housing

An axial cable exits the red IP50-rated body, simplifying wiring inside cabinets or on moving arms where radial space is tight. The totem-pole control output interfaces directly with common counter modules without extra line drivers. A maximum response frequency of 300kHz and a 5000rpm mechanical limit leave headroom for high-speed indexing tasks.

Replaces incremental encoders needing homing

This absolute type eliminates the reference move required after every power cycle, cutting start-up time on packaging lines and rotary tables. The jump is worth it when downtime from lost position outweighs the cost difference versus incremental models. Buyers who need hollow-shaft mounting or higher environmental sealing should look elsewhere.
