This encoder generates signals which correspond to the movements of the handwheel as it is turned. The axis selected via the control can be positioned paraxially. The handwheels are equipped with a magnetic latching mechanism that supports traversing with incremental accuracy. The front panel can be removed.
The portable handheld handwheel is connected via a flange socket using the coiled connecting cable. The enclosure is fitted with a magnetic clamp. A holder is available to provide a place to store the handwheel on non-metallic surfaces.
