BEI Sensors Absolute Single-Turn Optical Encoder H40

Built to the same rugged standards as the H40 Incremental Heavy Duty encoder, this unit features an absolute encoder output up to 13 bits of resolution. Designed to take the rigors of physically demanding environments, the H40 has a heavy-duty housing, a 100+ pound bearing, and internal shock absorbers. When you need absolute position in a really tough environment- the H40 absolute is what you need.

The H40 is an ultra heavy duty encoder whose internal structure is totally isolated from severe shock and shaft loading conditions. The optics and electronics are supported in shock absorbing material within the heavy cast outer housing. The encoder shaft is flexibly coupled to the high load capacity bearings and shaft assembly, which is carried in the outer housing. The entire bearing assembly is field-removable to permit proper shaft support while pressing pulleys, gears, etc. onto the shaft. An Underwriters Laboratories listed version of this model is available.
