Accu-Coder 711-S Rotary Encoder

The Accu-Coder 711-S Accu-Coder incremental shaft encoder is a compact cube-style sensor with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) shaft and 457 pulses per revolution, rated for speeds up to 6,000 RPM. It belongs to the Accu-Coder family, offering quadrature A and B outputs with an optional Z index to provide a reference pulse for position counting. The encoder supports multiple output configurations including open-collector with pull-up resistors, push-pull, and line-driver options, enabling easy interfacing with Accu-Coder drives, PLCs, and third‑party motion controllers. Its rugged, sealed aluminum housing reflects the original cube design, built for industrial environments with vibration, dust, and temperature variations. In use, it delivers reliable pulse data for precise speed sensing and position feedback in automation, robotics, packaging, material handling, and CNC-type tooling applications where repeatable incremental signals are essential for accurate motion control. The 711-S is a proven choice for integrating standard AB interfaces with other automation ecosystems, aligning with common quadrature and index-signal requirements across a range of motion-control setups.
