New sealed absolute rotary encoder series
Bourns has released an absolute rotary encoder series. Featuring an IP64 shaft seal rating that delivers an enhanced IP (Ingress Protection) level and a superior rotational feel, the Bourns Model PAC18R Series provides high quality performance for use in an expanded range of applications where a sealed menu select absolute encoder is required.
These applications include professional audio and lighting applications, low/medium risk medical and diagnostic equipment, and industrial automation controls.
This low profile absolute encoder family has a 30,000 rotational cycle rating and an extended -35 to +70°C operating temperature range. The Model PAC18R Series also offers other advantages such as high contact and insulation resistance values from the device's insulated plastic shaft and bushing as well as a haptic detent feedback option.
