Single-turn Absolute Encoder A/358H

Category: Encoder, Absolute Encoder, Single-turn Absolute Encoder, SENSORS

This A/358H Single-Turn Absolute Encoder addresses the need for precise positioning in demanding industrial environments without excessive costs. Its compact design allows for direct integration into automation systems where space is limited and mechanical robustness is a critical operational priority to prevent premature failures due to vibration or load.

The technical solution offers bit ranges from 2 to 13, reaching 8192 positions in maximum configuration. It supports multiple codes such as Binary, Gray, and BCD, with flexible power supply between 5V and 30V depending on the selected option to adapt to different existing electrical architectures in the plant without power supply modifications.

Constructed with an anodized aluminum housing and stainless steel bearings, it supports radial/axial loads of 2 kg and operating temperatures from 0°C to +70°C. The availability of IP65-rated connectors and a push-pull output ensures reliability in heavy-duty applications. Available in guemisa.es.

Adjustable bit range from 2 to 13 for resolution flexibility.
Versatile power supply compatible with 5V to 30V sources depending on configuration.
Impact-resistant anodized aluminum casing (12G) and standard vibrations.
Push-Pull output available for resolutions from 1 to 12 bits with a maximum current of 70mA.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

What alignment precautions does the A/358H axle require?

The stainless steel shaft supports a radial/axial load of 2 kg, but centered mounting is recommended to prevent misalignment that could affect the service life of the sealed ball bearings. Keeping the axial load below 1.5 x 10⁹ revolutions ensures long-term mechanical integrity under continuous heavy-duty conditions.

What connectors and output options are available for the A/358H?

PT02A16-26P connectors with IP65 or MS310A18-1P are offered, along with a standard 1m cable. Outputs include Parallel (-), SSI Serial (S), Analog Current (A), and Analog Voltage (V), with the Push-Pull option valid for resolutions from 1 to 12 bits with integrated PTC protection.
