Switches, Relays & Keypads
Elma Electronics’ new mechanical, incremental encoder, the type E33, is available with or without pushbutton function and has extremely compact housing dimensions of only 11,5 x 12,3 x 4,9 mm.
There are three different mounting options available: THT vertical, THT horizontal and SMT vertical, with or without threaded bushing.
The long-life indexing system provides up to 200 000 revolutions and features a superior indexing feel. This proprietary mechanism also ensures good tactile feedback. The rugged, vibration and shockproof metal design with optional IP 67 front panel sealing is suitable for applications in all harsh environments. Gold plated switching contacts guarantee high switching reliability, and it operates in -40 to 85°C temperatures.
The basic type E33 has 32 switching positions with 16 pulses per revolution per channel, 2 Ncm switching torque and 6 N push button actuation force. Other resolutions and operating forces are optionally available. Different shaft shapes and lengths can be chosen as well. The modular system platform enables easy implementation of customer specific requirements.
