Material length measuring wheel rotary encoder | 300 PPR | Ø38 mm | Push-Pull | 5–26 V | for length and speed measurement
Code: ES-GHW38High-precision wheel rotary encoder designed for measuring material length, movement speed, and angular position in various industrial and automation systems. This encoder operates based on an optical sensor principle, ensuring stable and accurate pulse generation even in high-speed applications. The wheel-type construction allows direct measurement of moving materials such as cables, textiles, films, paper, or metal strips. With a resolution of 300 pulses per revolution (300 PPR) and a push-pull signal output, the encoder can be easily integrated into PLCs, counters, automation systems, or microcontrollers.
