Overview: The AS 580 is an absolute shaft encoder designed to meet industry standard size 25 specifications. It features a syncro flange mounting and offers up to 13 bits (8192) maximum resolution. The encoder supports both Gray Code and Binary Code outputs and includes an optional reset function.
Electrical Specifications: The encoder operates on a supply voltage of either 5 Volt TTL or 8 to 30 Volts DC, with a maximum current consumption of 100 mA. It features a push-pull output circuit compatible with RS 422A and supports an impulse frequency of up to 200 kHz. The logic levels are defined as Vcc - 0.7 Volt for high and 0.25 Volt (max) for low, with 100% short circuit protection.
Mechanical Specifications: The AS 580 is constructed with an aluminum cover and body, and a stainless steel shaft. It can operate at speeds up to 6000 RPM and requires a torque greater than 0.05 Nm. The encoder can handle axial loading of 40 N and radial loading of 30 N. It is rated with an IP 65 protection level and can operate within a temperature range of -20˚ to +70˚ C, with an optional extension to +100˚ C. The unit weighs 0.7 lb (320 g).
Output Signals: The encoder provides output signals in both Gray-Code and Binary formats, with connections available through a 16-pin connector or a 2-meter cable. The color-coded cable connections are detailed for various functions including power, reset, and earth.
Ordering Information: The ordering code for the AS 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 and are designated by a 4-digit code at the end of the part number.
