The 01002-10541 is a 2.5-inch solid shaft incremental encoder from BEI Sensors designed for industrial automation and hazardous location environments. This encoder features EMI shielding, high-precision ball bearings, and matched thermal coefficients on critical components to ensure reliable long-term operation. It meets IP66 sealing requirements when ordered with shaft seal and offers extensive electrical protection to reduce damage from miswiring. The encoder supports multiple output configurations including ABZ channels with complementary outputs, standard resolutions from 1 to 2500 ppr, and industry-standard connectors (M18, M16, M12). It is available with certifications for hazardous locations including intrinsically safe and non-incendive ratings per UL/ATEX/IECEx standards, making it suitable for machine control, automation systems, and other demanding industrial applications requiring precise position and velocity feedback.
