Small, Thin, and Lightweight Magnetic Incremental Encoders

Oriental motor’s rotary encoders are small, thin, and lightweight incremental encoders.
A wide variety of product lineup includes two types of frame sizes (Ø30 mm/Ø40 mm), three output circuit types with line driver, voltage, and open collector (power supply voltage 5-24 VDC), and 14 resolution types with 100-4000 P/R. The actual position, speed, and rotation direction of conveyors, belts, pulleys, and other mechanisms can be detected, contributes in the construction of predictive maintenance systems.

Frame Size: Ø30 mm Round Shaft Type Frame Size Ø30 mm Dimensions Hollow Shaft Type Frame Size Ø30 mm Dimensions
Frame Size: Ø40 mm Round Shaft Type Frame Size Ø40 mm Dimensions Hollow Shaft Type Frame Size Ø40 mm Dimensions

Resolution 100 P/R-4000 P/R Maximum

14 types are available, including resolutions that are easy to combine with stepper motors and those suitable for the angle indexing.

Three Output Circuit Types With Line Driver Output, Voltage Output, and Open-collector Output

Open-collector output supports a power supply voltage input of 5-24 VDC.

Dust and Water Resistant IP65 Type

Is the rotary encoder being protected by a cover?
With an IP65 rating for dust and water resistant performance, it can be used without being affected by dust or water droplets.
Can be installed as is with no cover required.

Small and lightweight. Cable integrated structure.

Can Be Used in High Temperature Environments

The open-collector output can be used in up to 70 °C, the line driver output* and voltage output can be used in environments up to 85 °C.

  • * For the dust and water resistant IP65 type, both open-collector output and line driver output are rated up to 70 °C.

What is a Rotary Encoder?

A rotary encoder is a sensor that can detect the angle, rotation speed, and rotation direction of a rotating shaft.

  • The encoder accurately reads the position and synchronizes the operation precisely with other devices.
    For example, by synchronizing the timing of transfer and processing machines, smooth process management becomes possible.
  • By detecting abnormal rotation speeds, machine failure and workpiece jams can be detected early on.
  • Application Example
    By comparing the controller output pulses with the encoder detection pulses, can be quickly detected stoppages caused by foreign objects or other issues!
Appearance Inspection Equipment

Easy to Aligning the Mechanical Home and Z-phase Signal

The Z-phase signal is output once per revolution when the encoder connector section is facing down and the shaft flat section (round shaft type) or fixing screw section (hollow shaft type) is in the position indicated by the red arrow.
