The 600 series with absolute encoders for single-turn or multi-turn applications was developed according to ergonomic and aesthetic aspects. A reduced design underlines the quality of its construction, featuring for instance an intelligent overlay that allows interaction with lights and buttons. Thanks to an inductive scanning method and a robust ball bearing, the encoders are suitable for installation in harsh environments without being affected by heavy vibrations or extreme temperatures. It is available with a wide variety of electrical interfaces.
