The PE18 ProxEncoder true non-contact rotary encoder is modeled in a threaded proximity switch housing. The 18-mm encoder is designed to capture rotary motion where conventional sensors fail. The encoder can detect on-axis rotation with up to 0.5-in (12-mm) air gap between the application and sensor. The PE18 is 100% encapsulated for an IP69k configuration that survives destructive conditions such as dust control spray or corrosive wash. It is available in common communications, including analog, quadrature and CAN J1939. It is MIL-STD 202-rated for shock and vibration resistance. Customizable connector options are available.
