Autonics Corp E50S8-5000-3-T-24 Rotary Encoder 5000P/R 12-24VDC

Incremental rotary encoder for motion control

The Autonics E50S8-5000-3-T-24 is an incremental rotary encoder built for position and speed feedback in automation systems. It delivers 5000 pulses per revolution with a totem-pole output suitable for PLC and counter inputs. The unit operates on 12-24VDC supply with a maximum response frequency of 300kHz. It fits applications that require precise angular measurement up to 5000rpm.

Axial cable connection with IP50 rating

Installation uses an axial cable exit that routes directly from the encoder body, simplifying wiring in tight panels. The Ø8mm shaft mounts with standard couplings, and starting torque is limited to 70gf.cm (0.00686N.m) to reduce load on small motors. Misalignment or excessive side load on the shaft is the most common cause of premature bearing wear. The IP50 enclosure resists dust but not water ingress, so avoid wash-down environments.

5000P/R resolution at 12-24VDC

The defining specification is the 5000P/R resolution combined with a 12-24VDC power range, which determines compatibility with your controller input stage and required positioning granularity. Totem-pole output provides active high and low signals without external pull-up resistors. Buyers needing absolute position retention after power loss or higher environmental sealing should select a different encoder type.
