Industrial motion feedback

The Autonics E50S8-500-6-L-5 is an incremental rotary encoder built for position and speed feedback in automation systems. It delivers 500 pulses per revolution through a line-driver output suited to noisy industrial environments. The 8 mm solid shaft and axial cable simplify mounting on motors or machinery. This unit suits engineers specifying new motion-control axes.

Sustained high-speed operation

The encoder maintains its 500 P/R resolution up to a maximum response frequency of 300 kHz and a mechanical limit of 5000 rpm. Starting torque is capped at 70 gf·cm (0.00686 N·m), so the load on the driving shaft stays low during continuous running. Line-driver signals preserve edge integrity over long cable runs at these speeds. The 5 VDC supply tolerates ±5 % ripple without losing counts.

Environmental and electrical profile

An IP50 rating protects internal optics from dust ingress during normal indoor operation. Current draw stays within the 5 VDC ±5 % specification, so standard logic supplies can power the unit directly. The axial cable exits parallel to the shaft, easing routing in tight cabinets. No forced-air cooling is required at rated speed and torque.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the E50S8-500-6-L-5 generate during continuous operation?

The encoder draws power from a 5 VDC ±5 % supply with a maximum ripple of 5 %, so heat output stays low during all-day use.

What power supply and wiring must I already have to run this 500 P/R line-driver encoder?

You need a stable 5 VDC source within ±5 % ripple and a cable suited to the axial cable connection type.

Will the Ø8 mm shaft and 5000 rpm limit work with my existing motor mount?

The shaft outer diameter is Ø8 mm and the maximum allowable revolution is 5000 rpm, so match your mount and speed requirements accordingly.
