Rotary Encoders
Industrial Rotary Encoders provide shaft position or speed feedback as an incremental pulse train or an absolute position signal.
Product-type reference. The supplied make and configuration are confirmed in your quotation.
Information to include in your RFQ

Replacement and quotation checks
For a replacement, send the existing rotary encoders reference and photographs of its markings, connections and mounting. Include the equipment drawing or datasheet where available. Identify which functions must remain unchanged and whether an alternative make is acceptable.

Match the encoder output and mechanical interface
For a rotary encoder replacement, provide the complete model code and a photo of the shaft or coupling. Resolution is only one selection input. The output type, supply and mechanical arrangement must also suit the receiving controller and installation.
What to include in the quotation request
Selection input | Send with your RFQ | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Encoder type | State incremental or absolute and the required resolution. | Confirm the required position or pulse information. |
Electrical interface | Give supply voltage, output circuit and connection details. | Check compatibility with the PLC, drive or counter input. |
Mechanical fit | Specify shaft or hollow shaft, diameter, flange and coupling. | Confirm mounting dimensions and permissible operating conditions. |
Cable and environment | List cable or connector style and environmental requirements. | Include matching connectors or cables in the quotation if needed. |

Questions about Rotary Encoders
What should I check before selecting rotary encoders?
Equal pulses per revolution do not guarantee compatibility. Output level, channel arrangement and controller input frequency must also match.
What information is needed to quote rotary encoders?
Provide incremental or absolute feedback and resolution; supply voltage and output/interface; shaft, bore, coupling and mounting; maximum speed, cable/connector and environment. Include the quantity, requested make or existing reference and delivery PIN code.
Can an encoder be replaced by another with the same pulse count?
Pulse count alone is insufficient. Match the encoder type, output circuit, supply voltage, wiring and mechanical interface. Include the existing order code and controller input details for replacement enquiries.
