Dynapar G0566176 AC58 Series 12-Bit Parallel Output Absolute Rotary Encoder

The Dynapar AC58 Series absolute encoder (G0566176) is a 12-bit parallel-output absolute rotary encoder designed for industrial motion feedback and position monitoring applications. This model provides absolute position data in Gray code or binary format without requiring homing cycles, making it suitable for systems requiring fail-safe position retention and rapid restart capability. With IP67 environmental sealing, shaft speed capability to 6,000 RPM, and operational temperature range from ?25°C to +85°C, the unit is engineered for demanding factory automation, machinery control, and precision measurement environments. The encoder features ±1/2 LSB accuracy, accepts 5 VDC or 10–30 VDC power supplies, and delivers ±30 mA short-circuit-protected parallel outputs. Mechanical specifications include a 10 mm clamping flange or 6 mm synchro flange shaft option, shaft loading ratings of up to 24 lbs axial and 35 lbs radial (10 mm shaft), and low starting torque of ?0.2 in-oz. The unit is rated for 100 G shock (3 msec duration) and vibration from 10–500 Hz at 10 G, meeting the durability requirements of heavy industrial and mobile equipment applications. Programmable functions support configurable resolution and direction control, enabling integration across varied system architectures.
