Lika Electronic’s AS/AM58A series of encoders are supplied in an industry-standard 58 mm flange diameter housing with IP67 protection (IP65 on shaft side) in both hollow (Ø 14, 15 mm) and solid (Ø 6, 8, 9.52, 10, 11, 12 mm) shaft versions. The compact housing and slim profile of 48 mm allow for a wide variety of mounting configurations for quick, safe and low-cost installation.

The encoders boast a 12-bit resolution in single-turn and up to 16,384 turns in the multiturn version, for an overall count of 65,536. The hardware and software architecture provides a range of voltage and current output including 0 to 5, 0 to 10, -5 to +5, -10 to +10 V; 0 to 20, 4 to 20 and 0 to 24 mA.

Complementary and zero-setting inputs are supplied along with a fault output to warn against circuit interruption (current output versions only). Another feature is the optional teach-in function, which includes two start-stop buttons located on the external enclosure designed to easily program the setting of the initial (start) and the final (stop) position.
