510 Series

The 510 Series are manually operated, rotary encoders that supply a 2-bit gray code output for relative reference applications or a four-bit gray code output for absolute electrical reference applications. They combine the feel of a rotary switch with a digital output.

The “L” channel leads the “R” channel by 90º electrically in the clockwise position. This series has continuous electrical travel and has a rotational life of more than 100,000 shaft rotations with a positive detent feel.

These small encoders are commonly used in limited-space, panel-mounted applications where the need for costly, frontpanel displays can be completely eliminated. Digital gray code outputs may eliminate the need for analog/digital converters.
