One encoder, 16,384 encoders
IQ58/CKQ58 programmable incremental encoder from
Lika Electronic provides the individual specifications
with an all-round solution. Thanks to both the full pa-
rametrization via PC (such as of the pulse number and the
electrical interface features) and the broad range of mecha-
nical and electrical connection options (including solid and
hollow shafts, connector and cable outputs, etc.) it is total-
ly customizable and offers complete adaptability, versatility
and freedom for any kind of application.
IQ58/CKQ58 is a general-purpose encoder designed for
standard installations at a reasonable price. It features
a robust magnetic scanning and can be programmed to ac-
commodate any value from 1 to 16,384 pulses. It provides
AB0 and inverted /AB0 signals via Push-Pull & Line Driver
compatible output circuit. The output signal voltage level is
according to the input voltage (+5Vdc … +30Vdc).
In addition the Index mark position and duration (90° or
180° el.) as well as the counting direction (CW and CCW)
can be set via the PC tool supplied for free.
IQ58/CKQ58 comes in the standard 58-mm (2.28”) flange
diameter design and the whole range of mechanical confi-
gurations. Hollow (Ø 14, 15 mm; 0.55”, 0.59”) and solid (Ø 6,
8, 9.52, 10, 12 mm / 0.24”, 0.31”, 3/8”, 0.39”, 0.47”) shaft ver-
sions are available in a 100% safely-sealed enclosure with
IP65 protection rating. M12 and M23 connector as well as
cable options in either axial or radial output are offered.
To meet the requirements of high-end and demanding
applications the IP58/CKP58 programmable incremen-
tal encoder is also available. It adds a plus of benefits
to the characteristics of IQ58. IP58 encompasses a precise
optical scanning and is programmable from 1 to 65,536
PPR. Furthermore it is able to achieve a typical accuracy of
±0.005° and a counting frequency up to 800 kHz. In order
to improve convenience and speed up the installation setup
IP58 is fitted with a push-button located externally on the
case: it allows to easily set the Index mark at any position (in
addition the Index mark can be programmed via PC or set
remotely by applying an external signal). A further advan-
tage is the Universal output circuit (Push-Pull & Line Driver
compatible) and the selectable output signal voltage level:
it can be either +5Vdc or according to the input voltage to
match individual application demands. IP58 further allows
for extended -40°C +100°C (-40°F +212°F) operating tem-
peratures. Two LEDs for improved diagnostic information
complement the remarkable features of the top choice.
Lika Electronic products portfolio includes a wide se-
lection of programmable incremental and absolute enco-
ders designed for the most diverse applications and needs.
