Nemicon – Small Modular Encoder 38M

Small Modular type Easy to assemble (Outer Diameter φ38mm)

Brand : Nemicon

The Nemicon 38M Series is a small modular incremental rotary encoder designed for precise motion feedback in industrial automation and compact mechanical systems. With a 38 mm outer diameter, the encoder offers a modular structure that separates the sensing unit and code disc, allowing flexible installation inside machines while maintaining high measurement accuracy. Its compact design and lightweight construction make it ideal for integration into motors, robotics, and automation equipment with space constraints.

The 38M encoder provides a wide range of resolutions from 200 to 5000 pulses per revolution, supporting various levels of precision for speed, position, and direction monitoring. It offers selectable output types including open collector and line driver, ensuring compatibility with different controllers, PLCs, and motion control systems. Its robust construction and high response frequency enable stable signal output even at high rotational speeds, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
