Specifications Overview:
The AH 580 is an industry-standard size 25 shaft-mounted encoder with a maximum resolution of up to 12 bits (4096). It operates on a supply voltage of either 5 Volt TTL or 8 to 30 Volts DC, with a current consumption of 100 mA maximum. The output circuit options include Push-Pull and RS 422A, supporting impulse frequencies up to 100 kHz. The encoder provides both Gray Code and Binary Code output signals.

Mechanical Specifications:
The encoder features an aluminum cover and body with a stainless steel shaft. It supports a maximum speed of 6000 RPM and a torque greater than 0.04 Nm. The axial loading capacity is 20 N, and radial loading is 15 N. It is rated with an IP 65 protection level and operates within a temperature range of -20˚ to +70˚ C, with an optional extension to +100˚ C. The weight of the encoder is 0.55 lb (250 g).

Electrical Specifications:
The encoder's logic levels are defined as Vcc - 0.7 Volt for high and 0.25 Volt maximum for low. It includes 100% short circuit protection.

Output Signals:
The encoder supports both Gray-Code and Binary output signals, with a 16-pin connector providing various functions including reset and earth connections.

Ordering Code:
The ordering code for the AH 580 encoder includes options for shaft size, mechanical options, connector type and location, output signals, and output circuit type. Special functions and designs are available upon request, designated by a 4-digit code at the end of the part number.

Connection Details:
The encoder uses a 16-pin connector with a specific cable color code for each function, ensuring proper installation and operation.
