HEIDENHAIN ROD 260 Incremental Angle Encoder
The HEIDENHAIN ROD 260 is an incremental angle encoder with integral bearing, 18,000 lines and TTL output, for rotary axes and measuring shafts. Legacy model: it is not in HEIDENHAIN's April 2015 angle encoder catalog, which lists the ROD 220, ROD 270 and ROD 280 in the ROD 200 series. Ask AMI about repair, replacement or sourcing for your exact unit; availability and the right replacement path are confirmed before quoting. This page does not claim stock.
