The Autonics E40 Series are 40 mm diameter incremental rotary encoders designed for precise position and speed detection in various industrial applications. These encoders offer a robust and versatile solution for motion control, with several shaft and output options to suit diverse system requirements.
The E40 Series encoders convert rotational motion into electrical signals, providing feedback on angular position, speed, and direction. They utilize an incremental encoding method, generating a series of pulses for each rotation. Depending on the model, they can output A, B, and Z phases, or their inverted counterparts (A, A, B, B, Z, Z for line driver models), allowing for direction sensing and a reference point per revolution. The available control output options include Totem pole, NPN open collector, Voltage output, and Line driver, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control systems.

Versatile Shaft Options: The E40 Series offers shaft, hollow shaft, and blind hollow shaft models, providing flexibility for integration into various mechanical systems, including those with limited space. The low shaft moment of inertia contributes to responsive and accurate measurements.
Multiple Output Options: With Totem pole, NPN open collector, Voltage output, and Line driver control options, the encoders can interface with a wide array of PLCs, counters, and motion controllers. The Line driver output, in particular, is suitable for longer cable runs due to its differential signaling, which improves noise immunity.
Wide Resolution Range: Resolutions from 1 to 5,000 pulses per revolution allow users to select the appropriate level of precision for their application, from basic speed sensing to high-accuracy positioning.
Robust Construction: The IP50 protection rating ensures the encoder is protected against dust ingress, making it suitable for use in typical industrial environments. The specified vibration and shock resistance further enhance its durability in demanding conditions.
Easy Installation: The compact Ø 40 mm housing and various shaft configurations are designed for relatively easy installation, even in tight or limited spaces. The manual provides detailed instructions for proper mounting and wiring to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Safety Considerations: The manual emphasizes critical safety warnings, including the necessity of fail-safe devices for applications involving serious injury or economic loss, and precautions against using the unit in hazardous environments (flammable/explosive gases, high humidity, direct sunlight, etc.). It also warns against connecting, repairing, or inspecting the unit while connected to a power source.
Environmental Suitability: The encoders are designed for indoor use within specified environmental conditions, including altitudes up to 2,000 m and pollution degree 2, making them suitable for most factory settings.
Durable Design: The robust construction and specified environmental tolerances contribute to a long operational life, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance.
Clear Wiring Instructions: The manual provides clear wiring diagrams for different output types and connector layouts, facilitating correct installation and troubleshooting. This helps prevent wiring errors that could lead to product damage or malfunction.
Grounding Recommendations: Instructions for grounding the shield wire and the metal case to the F.G. terminal are provided to minimize noise interference, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and reducing the likelihood of performance issues.
Cable Management Guidelines: Recommendations for keeping wires as short as possible and away from high voltage lines, as well as using twisted pair wires for Line driver units, help prevent inductive noise and waveform distortion, thereby extending the life and reliability of the system.
Regular Checks: While not explicitly detailed as maintenance, the "Cautions during Use" section implicitly suggests regular checks of the operating environment and power supply to ensure the unit remains within its rated specifications, which is a form of preventative maintenance.
Product Improvement and Discontinuation: Autonics states that specifications and dimensions are subject to change for product improvement, and some models may be discontinued without notice. This implies a continuous effort to enhance product quality, which can lead to more reliable and potentially lower-maintenance future versions.
