Ø42mm absolute encoder reading head

AR42

The AR42 is a compact design incremental modular rotary encoder which is particularly suitable for applications with limited installation space. The absence of integral bearings eliminates initial starting torque. Setup LED allows easy mechanical adjustment.

This is just an example of a specific tailor-made encoder kit, but there can be numerous variations with different interfaces, mechanical, electrical adjustments, etc. The client would have to cover the non-recurring engineering (NRE) cost for designing and manufacturing the encoder kit depending on the complexity of adjustments needed for the application.

Note: Please consult beforehand to confirm specific adjustments and capabilities.
