REC - Incremental rotary encoders

Compact sized encoders series REC fit to any application where short body dimensions are required - the case length only measures 38 mm. REC encoders are available with different mechanical versions: with round flange and servo copling (type REC520/REC540), square flange (REC620) or hollow shaft, with (REC450) or without elastic support (REC440).

The case is out of strong aluminium and connections are ensured by the connector type M12. 
The pulses per revolution number ranges from 2 to 12500.
