E520 / E521 - Incremental rotary encoder

Incremental rotary encoders with or without zero pulse, fit to servo-coupling, and compatible to the international standardized series SIZE23; a flange type RE0444 is also available (series RE530). The compact electronic circuitry joins perfectly with the reliable and thoroughly tested mechanical construction, allowing to keep a favourable price/performance relation.
