KOYO TRD-NA360NW5M Rotary Encoder

KOYO TRD-NA360NW5M is an absolute rotary encoder that provides unambiguous position feedback using Gray code, delivering 360 pulses per revolution (9-bit) for precise motion and rotational control. It offers an NPN open-collector output and a 10–26 VDC supply, making it compatible with common industrial control circuits. The encoder uses a solid 8 mm shaft and mounts in a 50 mm housing with a 40 mm pitch and 35 mm depth, plus a 5 m cable for flexible wiring. Its IP65 rating protects against dust and water jets, while the clockwise (CW) output direction supports straightforward integration in machinery. Operating from -10°C to 70°C and supporting speeds up to roughly 3000 RPM, this unit is suited for demanding environments found in CNC machines, conveyors, packaging equipment, and automated production lines where reliable shaft-position data is critical. It is commonly used for retrofits, repairs, and replacements of worn or failed position feedback devices to keep synchronized machine operation. Common replacements include KOYO TRD-NA360NWE and KOYO TRD-N360-RZWD, and Autonics E40H8-360-3-T-24 as a plug-in alternative.
