WHAT'S NEW
The E33 - The Ultimate Encoding Solution for Industry, Avionics, Transport, Defense, Entertainment and Medical Technology 
   

A rugged and durable new incremental encoder – the Elma E33 – that can be used in applications ranging from routine industrial automation to state-of-the-art weapon systems is set to move the world of electronic encoding on to the next generation.

 

Developed after years of research by the precision manufacturing innovators at the Elma Group in Switzerland, the E33 is now being introduced and provides a truly versatile, low-profile encoder that meets the highest specifications.

 

The E33 incorporates:

 

n     16 or 32 detents standard resolution

n     Robust metal housing with metal shaft

n     A rotational life of 200,000 revolutions

n     11.5 x 12.3 x 4.9 mm body size

n     Excellent indexing feel with 1.5, 2 or 2.5 Ncm constant switching torque

n     Operating temperature range of between -40 and +85°C

 

Supplied with or without push-button switches, and with optional IP67 front panel sealing, the E33 boasts a unique combination of ruggedness and an excellent indexing feel. Its versatile and scalable system platform means it can be used for highly individual, customer-specific solutions, and supplied even in small quantities.

 

The E33’s shaft dimensions and shapes can be customised to meet specific application requirements, as can its indexing resolution and PPR. It is ideal for value and menu control; instrumentation and test equipment for avionics; frequency and channel setting for transceivers; user interface controls for medical devices; volume and menu setting for transportation control and entertainment systems.
