Product Description:

The A5810240010 is an absolute rotary feedback device produced by Danaher for use in precision motion systems and belongs to the Dynapar Encoders series. By reporting shaft position with a parallel binary data stream, it provides deterministic angle information to drives and PLCs, making it suitable for indexing tables, pick-and-place axes, and packaging equipment. Its design supports direct face mounting to gearboxes or motor end bells, allowing compact installation wherever reliable position verification is required in industrial automation.

The encoder outputs a 10-bit binary word, which provides 1024 counts per revolution, so the controller receives unique data for every 0.35 degrees of rotation. A push-pull driver delivers this word on parallel lines that can source or sink ±30 mA, allowing direct connection to high-speed input modules without external buffers. Signal integrity is maintained up to a frequency response of 100 kHz, so the full code remains valid even when the shaft turns at the rated 6000 rpm. The starting torque does not exceed 0.2 in-oz, minimizing the load placed on small-frame motors during startup and low-speed operation. The end-exit cable routes signals away from the face-mount flange without increasing the unit’s installation footprint. Absolute coding retains a unique shaft position after power is restored, removing the need for a homing routine following a power loss.

The housing provides IP67 protection, preventing water jets and fine dust from interfering with the internal optics. A stainless-steel shaft with a diameter of 10 mm supports the rotating assembly without excessive deflection. The encoder permits an axial load of 24 lb and a radial load of 35 lb, providing capacity for forces caused by belt tension or minor coupling misalignment. The unit weighs 300 g, which limits the additional mass placed on compact motor assemblies. Its face-mount flange helps maintain concentric alignment while the encoder operates under the permitted shaft loads.
