Product Description
Compensatory rotor coupling

A metal bellows is used to couple the rotary encoder. This coupling compensates for axial movements, radial misalignment, and angular offset, thereby preventing loads on the rotary encoder's bearing and a reduction in service life.

Versatile mounting

The ROD 1000 rotary encoders can be mounted in different ways. Based on the given requirements, mounting can be performed with fixing clamps and a synchro flange or via a front-face fastening thread and an adapter flange.

Compact design

The rotary encoders of this series feature high ruggedness and reliability in a compact design with an outer diameter of just 35 mm. Their small footprint makes them ideal for very tight installation spaces.

Wide variety of interfaces

The rotary encoders of the ROD 1000 series are available with various interfaces, allowing them to be connected directly to most subsequent electronics. Neither an adapter nor a signal converter is necessary.
