Description

We have various PCB-mount rotary encoders in the shop, great for making interfaces where you may want to spin a knob around to select a value. This large 60mm rotary encoder is hand-sized and ideal for controlling CNC machines manually, offering 100 ticks per rotation so each rotation can align with a centimeter or inch. It is perfect for any application needing a large, tactile 360-degree rotary interface.

Unlike PCB-mount rotary encoders, this encoder features screw terminal blocks on the back for easy wire connection. Provide any DC voltage to VCC for the pullup/positive voltage, connect ground, and read A and B for relative direction and motion pulses. It is compatible with any rotary encoder tutorial.

Rotary encoders operate differently from potentiometers as they rotate continuously and divide each rotation into 100 segments with a clicky tactile feel. Using a microcontroller, you can count clicks clockwise or counter-clockwise to track motion. It does not provide absolute position.

Features:

  • Large 60mm diameter hand-sized rotary encoder
  • 100 pulses (segments) per rotation for precise control
  • Six-terminal screw terminal block connection
  • Compatible with standard rotary encoder tutorials and microcontrollers
  • Ideal for CNC manual control or large tactile rotary interfaces
