Optical panel encoder SPM

Actuating torque, shaft geometry and electrical connections can be customized.

For manual parameter setting, the panel encoder offers excellent haptic properties based on tightly tolerated mechanical components. The encoder detects angles without contact and has a high quality metal sleeve bearing with a life of over 100 million shaft movements.
Resolutions from 50 to 1024 ppr (up to 5000 on request) are available with TTL or line driver output signals. The panel encoder has an IP55 protection rating on the shaft side. Convenient electrical interface choices, such as solder/plug-in contacts (TTL), optional plug connection with locking (TTL or line driver), complete the profile. On request, the SPM can be customized ex-works with customer-specific shaft geometry, user-defined operating torque or special electrical connections. A tandem version with optical and electrical redundancy is available on request.
