Incremental encoder can be used in applications ranging from routine industrial automation to state-of-the-art weapon systems.

The Elma E33 is rugged and durable incremental encoder that can be used in applications ranging from routine industrial automation to state-of-the-art weapon systems.

Developed after years of research at The Elma Group in Switzerland, the E33 is now being introduced to the UK market by Foremost Electronics and provides a truly versatile, low-profile encoder that meets the highest specifications.

The E33 incorporates: 16 or 32 detents standard resolution; a robust metal housing with metal shaft; a lifetime predicted at 1 million operations from IP167 to IP68 sealing; a body size of 11.5 x 12.3 x 4.9mm; 2 or 3Ncm constant switching torque; and an operating temperature range between -40 and +85C.

Supplied with or without pushbutton switches, and with optional IP68 front panel sealing, the E33 boasts a unique combination of ruggedness and an excellent indexing feel.

Its versatile and scalable system platform means it can be used for highly individual, customer-specific solutions, and supplied even in small quantities.

The E33's shaft dimensions and shapes can be customised to meet specific application requirements, as can its indexing resolution and pulses per revolution.

It is ideal for value and menu control; instrumentation and test equipment for aviation; frequency and channel setting for transceivers; user interface controls for medical devices; volume and menu setting for transportation control and entertainment systems.
