The ddm hopt+schuler encoder 580, is an encoder with an exceptional tactile feedback, which is realized due to a strong intentional self-alignment from one lock position to the next. Thanks to its special dimensioning, axle wobble and play in the detent position are a thing of the past. This special feature is particularly evident when using a large control knob. As an option, the 580 encoders can be connected via a flexible cable.

Product Information

The 580 rotary encoder from ddm hopt+schuler is available with different operating forces for the turn and push function. The standard version of the Model 580 is a mechanical 2-bit incremental encoder. However, it can also be designed as an optical rotary encoder. Customized front panel design and indirect ring lighting are just two of the options available.
