Lika Electronic AS/AM58A analog output encoders

The AS/AM58A analog output encoders from Lika Electronic of Italy are supplied in an industry-standard 58 mm flange diameter housing with IP67 protection (IP65 on shaft side) in both hollow (Ø 14, 15 mm) and solid (Ø 6, 8, 9.52, 10, 11, 12 mm) shaft versions. New circuitry allows for a more compact housing and a slim profile (48 mm deep). A wide variety of mounting configurations is available for a quick, safe and low-cost installation.

The AS/AM58A encoders offer a 12-bit resolution in single-turn and up to 16,384 turns in the multiturn version for an overall 65,536 count. The improved hardware and software architecture provides an enhanced range of voltage and current output including 0-5 V, 0-10 V, -5 to +5 V, -10 to +10 V, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA and 0-24 mA.

Complementary and zero-setting inputs are supplied standard along with a fault output to warn against circuit interruption (current output versions only). Another feature is the optional Teach-In function, which includes two Start-Stop buttons located on the external enclosure designed to easily program the setting of the initial (start) and the final (stop) position.
