Rotary encoders compatible with Mitsubishi interface

Heidenhain has introduced the new absolute ECN/EQN and ROC/ROQ 400M rotary encoders for use on machines that require a Mitsubishi interface. These encoders fulfill the requirements of the Mitsubishi High Speed Generation 2 pure binary interface with two-pair transmission.

The products are an addition to the 400 series of encoders with integral bearings and stator or separate shaft coupling. The single-turn versions feature 25 bits of resolution, while the multiturn variations have 23 bits of resolution while tracking 12 bits revolutions. The encoders have an IP 67 rating on the housing and IP 63 at the shaft inlet, making them suitable for use on servo axes and spindles in machine tools.
