Baumer BHK 16

The BHK 16 from Baumer is an incremental encoder that belongs to the series of mini-encoders. It is available in versions with a blind or through hollow shaft. This encoder uses an optical reading method and can generate up to 2048 pulses per revolution.

With a compact design featuring a housing diameter of only 40 mm, the BHK 16 is ideal for integration into tight spaces. It supports a maximum rotational speed of 12000 rpm, making it perfect for high-speed applications. The encoder is built to withstand challenging conditions, offering excellent vibration and shock resistance.
