Incremental Rotary Encoder AB 6mm Shaft 5-24V NPN 600 P/R

🔄 600 P/R Incremental Rotary Encoder — NPN Open-Collector, AB Quadrature (5–24 V)

Industrial-style incremental encoder with 600 pulses/rev (P/R). With standard 4× decoding (A/B edges), motion controllers read up to 2400 counts/rev for precise position, speed, and length measurement.

🌟 Why it’s a solid pick

• 🧭 High resolution: 600 P/R (→ 2400 CPR with 4× decoding).

• ⚡ Wide supply range: DC 5–24 V for easy integration with PLCs, microcontrollers, and drivers.

• 🔄 AB quadrature: Two-phase, 90° out of phase for direction sensing.

• 🧲 NPN open-collector outputs: Flexible pull-up to your logic level (5 V, 12 V, 24 V).

• 🚀 Fast response: 0–20 kHz response frequency; max mechanical speed 5000 RPM.

• 🧵 Long lead: 1.5 m cable for convenient routing.

• 🛠️ Compact form: Body approx. 38 × 35.5 mm with Ø6 mm × 13 mm shaft.

🧰 Typical Applications

• Displacement and height measurement projects

🔌 Wiring (color code) & integration

• Red = VCC + (5–24 V)

• Black = 0 V (GND)

• Green = Channel A (NPN open-collector)

• White = Channel B (NPN open-collector)

Controller tips:

• Use pull-up resistors (internal or external) to your logic rail (e.g., 5 V for Arduino, 24 V for PLC).

• Read both A and B for direction; enable interrupts or high-rate sampling for speeds approaching the 20 kHz edge rate.

• For long runs or noisy environments, use shielded cable and proper grounding.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Do not connect A/B outputs directly to VCC. They are open-collector outputs; they must be pulled up through a resistor (or the controller’s built-in pull-ups).

• Respect the 5–24 V supply range and wiring polarity.

• Ensure mechanical alignment and use a rigid coupling to avoid shaft damage.

• Terminal style may vary by batch (pre-wired vs. terminal)—functionality is the same.
