Mechanical Encoders 510 Series Datasheet510 Series Mechanical Encoders The 510 Series are manually operated, rotary encoders that supply a 2-bit gray code output for relative reference applications or a four-bit gray code output for absolute electrical reference applications. They combine the feel of a rotary switch with a digital output. The L channel leads the R channel by 90 electrically in the clockwise position. This series has continuous electrical travel and has a rotational life of more than 100,000 shaft rotations with a positive detent feel. These small encoders are commonly used in limited-space, panel-mounted applications where the need for costly, front- panel displays can be completely eliminated. Digital gray code outputs may eliminate the need for analog/digital converters. Key Features and Benetsfi Potential Applications High resolution: Up to 36 positions for applications that INDUSTRIAL require high resolution Audio/visual equipment Gray code digital voltage output: May eliminate the need Smoke detectors for analog to digital converters, contributes to a more cost- Irrigation controls effective solution Oscilloscopes Wide operating temperature range of -40 C to 105 C Robotics -40 F to 221 F : Helps minimize thermal performance issues MEDICAL Mounting flexibility: Horizontal or vertical mounting EKG and defibrillation machines terminations promote flexibility in the application high resolution gray Code digital output sensing.honeywell.com 2
