Overview
Standard-housing analog absolute encoders (SAS-M58) with voltage output provide precise position feedback in industrial automation systems. The 0–10 V or 0–5 V signal ensures compatibility with standard PLCs, motion controllers, and data acquisition systems, delivering deterministic absolute position information suitable for both new installations and retrofits.
The 58 mm standard housing combines compact size, mechanical robustness, and flexible integration options.
Key Functional Features
- Analog Voltage Output: 0–10 V or 0–5 V for absolute position feedback
- Single-turn resolution: up to 21 bits
- Multi-turn capability: up to 14 bits (where applicable)
- Stable signal transmission even in electrically noisy industrial environments
- Environmental protection: IP65 / IP67
- Shock and vibration resistance for industrial-grade operation
These features ensure accurate and reliable position monitoring across a wide range of motion control applications.
Mechanical Design and Mounting
SAS-M58 voltage-output encoders are offered in standard housing, supporting:
- Clamp flange – flexible, repeatable installation
- Blind hollow shaft flange – enables direct mounting on existing shafts
The mechanical design provides stable operation while supporting diverse machine layouts.
Shaft Interface Options
- Solid Shaft – recommended when shaft alignment is controllable, offering stable mechanical reference
- Blind Hollow Shaft – ideal for retrofit or space-constrained applications
Choosing the correct shaft interface is essential for accurate analog signal generation and long-term reliability.
Environmental Suitability
- Suitable for indoor industrial environments
- Operates in moderate temperature ranges
- Controlled exposure to dust and moisture
Proper grounding and cable routing enhance signal stability and prevent interference in noisy industrial conditions.
Typical Applications
- Servo drive systems and rotary positioning axes
- Conveyor and material handling machinery
- Packaging and assembly equipment
- Retrofit replacement for legacy analog feedback encoders
The standard housing design allows easy mechanical integration across various machine layouts.
