Introducing the New IH520 Slim Hollow Shaft Encoder for Compact Motion Control Applications

The new IH520 Series, slim incremental hollow shaft encoder, is engineered for precise motion feedback in space-constrained industrial motion control applications. Featuring a low axial profile, flange mounting, and hollow shaft design for easy installation.

St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, June 16, 2026 — Industrial Encoder Corporation, a proud member of Global Encoder Systems, announces the launch of the new IH520 Series, a slim incremental hollow shaft encoder engineered for precise motion feedback, space-constrained installations, and seamless integration in industrial motion control applications.

Designed for OEMs, machine builders, and system integrators, the IH520 Series delivers reliable incremental feedback for applications requiring accurate speed and position in space-constrained machine designs.

The IH520 Series features a compact Ø52 mm housing, hollow shaft bore diameters from 4 mm to 10 mm or 1/4” to 3/8”, and resolutions up to 3,600 PPR. Available with Push-Pull (HTL) and RS422 (TTL) outputs, and a wide supply voltage range (5 VDC, 4.75-30 VDC, or 8-30 VDC).
