Product Description:

The E14060010403 is an incremental rotary encoder produced by Danaher for the Dynapar Encoders series. It converts shaft rotation into digital pulse trains for position or speed feedback in motion-control loops, allowing drives or PLC input modules to monitor mechanical movement in real time. A sealed bearing system protects the sensing elements from lubricant splash and fine particulate ingress. The Size E20 servo flange provides a concentric, three-screw attachment that aligns the code disk with the machine shaft.

This model outputs 600 PPR, so every full revolution produces 600 equally spaced pulses that a counter can translate into 0.6-degree increments. The electronics operate from a single 5 VDC supply, simplifying connection to TTL-level controllers. The differential, unidirectional driver pair maintains signal integrity with a frequency response of at least 100 kHz. At the rated shaft speed of 5,000 rpm, the 600-pulse output produces a frequency of 50 kHz, which remains within the encoder’s response range. Each channel can sink or source up to 40 mA, allowing direct connection to optically isolated inputs or long cable runs without excessive signal degradation. A starting torque of 0.43 oz-in minimizes additional loading on small servo motors, while the moment of inertia of 3.8 × 10⁻⁵ oz-in-s² supports quick acceleration.

The encoder includes a molded cable that measures 10 ft, providing adequate length for panel routing without adding excessive capacitive loading to the line drivers. The shaft can accept an axial force of up to 3 lb and a radial force of up to 5 lb without reducing bearing life. Low bearing drag allows the encoder to maintain a running torque ceiling of 0.42 oz-in. Its overall mass is limited to 3.0 oz, which reduces the load when the unit is cantilever-mounted on lightweight stages or end-of-arm tooling. The 0.25-inch stainless steel shaft provides a precise, corrosion-resistant coupling surface for connection to the driven machine component.
