The 510 Series controls are manually operated, rotary, mechanical encoders that provide a two-bit gray code for relative reference applications and a four-bit gray code for absolute electrical reference applications. The "L" channel leads the "R" channel by 90 deg. electrically in the Clockwise position. It features continuous electrical travel and has a rotational life of more than 100,000 shaft revolutions with a positive detent feel. This series is relatively small in size measuring 21,08 mm [0.83 in] - square by 8.71 mm [0.343 in] - deep. They are commonly used in limited-space panel-mounted applications where the need for costly, front-panel displays can be completely eliminated. Digital gray-code outputs eliminate the need for A/D converters.
