E20HB Series

20 mm Incremental Rotary Encoders (Blind Hollow Shaft Type)

The E20HB series blind hollow shaft type incremental rotary encoders feature ultra-compact Ø20 mm size housings and lightweight (35 g) design. The small size and light weight allows easy installation in tight or limited spaces. The low moment of inertia of the shaft minimizes the effect on the rotation of applied equipment.

Description

The Autonics E20HB Series are Ø20 mm incremental rotary encoders with hollow shaft design, engineered for direct shaft mounting without couplings. By eliminating mechanical coupling components, the E20HB reduces installation time, alignment errors, and mechanical backlash, improving overall system reliability.

The series supports multiple resolutions, A/B/Z phase outputs, and NPN or PNP open collector output types, making it suitable for speed feedback, position detection, and direction control in compact automation equipment. With a wide power supply range (5–24 VDC) and lightweight construction, the E20HB is ideal for compact motors, conveyors, indexing mechanisms, packaging machines, and OEM assemblies where space efficiency and ease of installation are critical.
