8421 Encoder-Vertical

This is an 8421 absolute position encoder with a 16-gear code (0 - F). The mechanical position ensures each position of the encoder is unique. Unlike a potentiometer, it doesn't need memory, a reference point, or constant counting. You can easily read the position whenever you need it. This significantly enhances the encoder's anti - interference ability and data reliability. Thanks to the absolute uniqueness of each position, strong anti - interference, and no need for a power - off memory function, this encoder is widely used in various industrial systems for device status control. **SPECIFICATION** - Operating Current: 150mA, 42V - 8421 Encode: 16 - gear (0 - F) - Service Life: 10000 steps - Operating Temperature: - 40~85℃ - Dimension: 19x19mm/0.75x0.75” - Mounting Aperture: 2.0mm - Mounting Hole Pitch: 15x15mm **DOCUMENTS** Product wiki

Using this encoder is easy. First, install it in your industrial system according to the specified mounting aperture and hole pitch. When you need to know the position of a device, the encoder will give you an accurate reading without any complex setup. Here are some things to keep in mind. The operating current should be maintained at 150mA and 42V to ensure proper functioning. Also, make sure the operating temperature stays within the range of - 40 to 85℃. For maintenance, there isn't much you need to do. But since it has a service life of 10000 steps, you might want to keep an eye on the usage. If you notice any issues with the position readings, check the power supply and connections first. This encoder is a reliable tool for your industrial device status control, so take good care of it and it will serve you well.
