Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of encoder is the VX-5800-02-360?

The VX-5800-02-360 is an incremental rotary encoder. It generates A and B phase signals (quadrature output) to determine position, speed, and direction.

What does 360 PPR mean?

360 PPR (Pulses Per Revolution) means the encoder produces 360 pulses for each full rotation of the shaft. This determines the resolution and accuracy of motion feedback.

What is the difference between incremental and absolute encoders?

Incremental encoders like the VX-5800-02-360 measure relative movement and require a reference point after power loss, while absolute encoders provide a unique position value at all times—even after power interruption.

What output signals does this encoder provide?

This encoder typically provides:

• A and B channels (quadrature signals)
• Optional Z (index) signal for reference positioning

What voltage does the encoder operate with?

The VX-5800-02-360 generally operates within a 5–24 VDC supply range, depending on the specific configuration.

In which industries is this encoder used?

This encoder is widely used in:

• Industrial automation systems
• Packaging and filling machines
• Conveyor systems
• CNC machinery
• Textile and printing equipment
