Rotary encoder 1200 P/R 5 VDC
The Autonics E40S6-1200-6-L-5 is an incremental rotary encoder built for motion-control systems that need precise position feedback. It suits engineers and technicians integrating closed-loop drives, CNC axes or automated test rigs.
1200 pulses per revolution headroom
Each turn yields 1200 pulses with a maximum response frequency of 300 kHz, giving clean quadrature signals up to 5000 rpm. The line-driver output maintains signal integrity over longer cable runs, while the 5 VDC supply tolerance of ±5 % keeps operation stable. Beyond 5000 rpm or 300 kHz the encoder cannot guarantee accurate counts.
Radial cable Ø6 mm shaft IP50
A 6 mm diameter shaft and radial cable exit simplify mounting on motor flanges or gearboxes where axial space is limited. The IP50 rating protects against dust ingress but not liquids, so the unit must sit inside a sealed enclosure. Line-driver outputs require a differential receiver at the controller; single-ended inputs will not decode the signals correctly. Buyers needing absolute position data or higher environmental sealing must select a different encoder type.

Questions about this item
Will the Ø6 mm shaft fit the motor couplings I already use?
The encoder has a 6 mm shaft diameter; match it to your existing coupling bore for a direct fit.
How can I verify the 1200 pulses per revolution are being output correctly after wiring?
Rotate the shaft at a known speed and count the line-driver pulses; 1200 pulses should appear for each full turn.
The radial cable is fixed to the body — what mounting hardware must I source separately?
You will need a Ø6 mm shaft coupling, a mounting flange or bracket for the 40 mm body, and a 5 VDC supply capable of the rated current.
