The Bourns Absolute Encoder is a digital control knob that provides 128 unique results evenly spaced around a full circle. It is designed as a control panel knob but can be adapted for other uses. This can be a good alternative to using a potentiometer and analog pin, as this allows for full-turn and multi-turn operation.

It differs from the more common incremental rotary encoder which has only two or four values in a rotation and is designed to measure full rotations and direction. This measures angles and absolute position is maintained between power cycles.
Includes:
Absolute Contacting Encoder (ACE)
Mounting nut and lockwasher (9mm mounting hole)
Features:
128 rotary positions
360 degree continuous rotation
Rotational life - 50,000 revolutions (min)
Max RPM - up to 120
Absolute digital output will retain its last position between power cycles or in the event of a power failure
