Product catalog summary

Overview: The AS360 is an Absolute Single-Turn Solid Shaft Encoder designed for industrial applications. It features a gearless and battery-free design, with a housing size of Ø 36 mm and shaft diameters of 6 mm, 6.35 mm [1/4”], and 8 mm. The encoder offers a resolution range from 1 to 16 bits and operates on a supply voltage of either 5 VDC or 8 to 30 VDC.

Mechanical Specifications:

Material: Aluminum body and cover, stainless steel shaft.
Max Speed: 12,000 RPM.
Mass Moment of Inertia: ≤ 2.5 · 10^-6 kgm².
Starting Torque: > 0.3 Nm at 25 °C.
Max Loading on Shaft: Axial 50 N, Radial 50 N.
Shock Resistance: ≤ 5000 m/s².
Vibration Resistance: ≤ 300 m/s².
Protection Class: IP65.
Operating Temperature: -40 °C to +70 °C [-4 °F to +158 °F].
Weight: Approximately 0.110 kg [0.242 lb].

Electrical Specifications:

Supply Voltage: 5 VDC, 8–30 VDC.
Current Consumption: Max. 85 mA at 27 VDC.
Output Circuit: RS485/RS422 compatible.
Pulse Frequency: Max. 500 kHz.
Coding: Binary or Gray.
Direction Setting: DIR = GND for clockwise, DIR = Vcc for counterclockwise.
Preset/Reset Setting: Preset = Vcc for 2s, Reset = GND.
Short Circuit and Reverse Polarity Protection: 100%.

Geometry: The encoder is available with different shaft diameters and features both axial and radial cable exits. Dimensions are provided for each shaft size.

Ordering Code: The ordering code is structured to specify group function, mechanical options, output signals/interface, basic series number, connection type, shaft size, connector location, and resolution. Special functions and designs are indicated by a code (Sxxx).

Connections: The encoder uses an 8 Pin M12 connector with a specific pinout for SSI functions, including GND, Vcc, SSI Clock, SSI Data, Preset/Reset, and Direction Setting.
