Baumer Electric BHG 06.24K100 K561 Rotary Incremental Encoder

Baumer Electric BHG-06.24K100/K561 is an incremental rotary encoder that provides shaft-position and speed feedback for automation systems, converting shaft rotation into a pulse stream that standard motion controllers, PLCs, and data-acquisition modules can interpret for closed-loop control. It operates on a 10–30 V DC supply and is rated for speeds up to 12,000 RPM, making it suitable for higher-speed applications while maintaining reliable signal integrity; it includes a fixed 7-meter cable for straightforward wiring routing and mounts to equipment via a screw plate, with a mass of about 0.32 kg to suit compact installations on a range of machines. This variant is part of Baumer’s BHG family, associated with the HighRes line, and is listed by the manufacturer as discontinued, which should be considered when planning procurement or replacements. The incremental output supports predictable, repeatable positioning and velocity data that can be fed to common control architectures, enabling synchronization, motor control, and process feedback in industrial environments. The combination of broad supply voltage, extensive cabling, and screw-mount compatibility makes this encoder adaptable to various installation footprints and cabinet layouts where robust rotational feedback is required.
