8421 Encoder - Horizontal

This is an outstanding 8421 absolute position encoder featuring a 16 - gear code (0 - F). The mechanical position ensures the uniqueness of each encoder position. Unlike a potentiometer, it doesn't need memory, a reference point, or constant counting. You can easily read the position whenever needed. 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 product 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: 14x19mm/0.55x0.75” - Mounting Aperture: 2.0mm - Mounting Hole Pitch: 15mm **DOCUMENTS** Product wiki

Using this encoder is quite simple. First, install it in your industrial system according to the mounting aperture and hole pitch provided in the specification. Connect it with the appropriate power supply, with an operating current of 150mA and 42V. When you need to know the position, you can directly read it from the encoder. Here are some important notes. Make sure the operating temperature is within the range of - 40 to 85℃. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, as this may affect its performance. Also, try to keep it away from strong interference sources to maintain its anti - interference ability. For maintenance, there's not much to worry about. Since it has a service life of 10000 steps, you can monitor its usage steps. If you notice any abnormal readings or performance degradation, it might be time to consider replacing it.
