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: The encoder is constructed with an aluminum body and stainless steel shaft. It supports a maximum speed of 12,000 RPM and has a mass moment of inertia of ≤ 2.5 · 10-6 kgm2. The starting torque at 25 °C is > 0.3 Nm, with maximum axial and radial shaft loading of 50 N each. It is designed to withstand shock resistance up to ≤ 5000 m/s2 and vibration resistance between 55-2000 Hz up to ≤ 300 m/s2. The protection class is IP65, suitable for operating temperatures from -40 °C to +70 °C, and the weight is approximately 0.110 kg.
Electrical Specifications: The encoder supports SSI signals with a supply voltage of 5 VDC or 8–30 VDC and a maximum current consumption of 85 mA at 27 VDC. It is compatible with RS485/RS422 output circuits and supports a maximum pulse frequency of 500 kHz. Coding options include Binary or Gray, with direction settings controlled by DIR input. It features 100% short circuit and reverse polarity protection.
Geometry and Connections: The encoder is available with different shaft diameters and connection types, including axial and radial cable exits. It supports an 8 Pin M12 plug for connections, with a detailed pinout and cable color code provided for SSI functions.
Ordering Code: The ordering code is structured to specify group function, basic series number, mechanical options, shaft size, connection type, output signals/interface, connector location, supply voltage, and resolution. Special functions and designs are indicated by a code (Sxxx) at the end of the part number.
