The RN6066 is an absolute singleturn encoder with a solid shaft for precise angular position measurement. It uses an SSI data interface and provides a 10 mm stainless-steel shaft. The encoder is designed for reliable absolute position feedback in industrial motion systems. Its aluminium housing provides a robust cylindrical construction. A short PUR cable and M12 connector support machine integration.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The RN6066 provides absolute angular position within one shaft revolution. Its 8,192-step resolution provides detailed position information. SSI communication transmits the position value digitally. Absolute measurement reduces dependence on external reference operations. This makes the encoder suitable for precision rotary positioning.
The encoder uses a 10 mm solid shaft made from stainless steel. The maximum mechanical speed is 6,000 rpm. Radial shaft load is rated at 110 N and axial load at 40 N. The aluminium housing provides a robust industrial structure. This mechanical design supports direct coupling to rotary equipment.
SSI provides synchronous serial communication between the encoder and controller. The interface is suitable for motion-control systems requiring deterministic digital position data. The M12 connector supports industrial wiring. The short PUR cable provides a compact connection arrangement. This makes the encoder practical for machine-axis feedback.
