The Pepperl + Fuchs WCS3B-PL2 is a state-of-the-art electronic component designed to offer precise and reliable position tracking in a variety of industrial applications. This non-contact, absolute position encoder utilises an SSI interface to deliver high-resolution data, ensuring accurate monitoring and control of machinery movement.
Crafted for durability and performance, the WCS3B-PL2 boasts a robust construction with a housing made from ABS and polycarbonate materials, providing a degree of protection rated at IP54. This makes it suitable for use in environments where exposure to dust and moisture is a concern. The encoder operates within a temperature range of 0 to 60°C, ensuring stability and reliability even in fluctuating climate conditions.
With a measuring range of up to 314.5 meters and a passage speed of up to 12.5 m/s, this encoder is capable of handling the demands of high-speed operations without compromising on precision. The WCS3B-PL2 offers a resolution of ±0.4 mm, equating to 1,250 positions per meter, which is ideal for applications requiring fine positional accuracy.
The device is equipped with LED indicators for power, data communication activity, and error notifications, providing immediate visual feedback on the operational status. The power consumption is minimal, at just 2 VA, making it an energy-efficient choice for continuous use in automated systems.
The WCS3B-PL2 is designed for straightforward integration into existing systems, featuring an 8-pin M12 x 1 connector for easy connection. Its transparent protective case and seal accessory ensure additional protection and longevity of the device in challenging industrial settings.

Absolutely fantastic service. Rob was very helpful. Great communication. Requested part was shipped in no time.Konrad Eliaszuk
Found the component i was looking for ad a great price. Great support from the staff as I was paying using a wire transfer. - Quick delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely Helpful. Shipped me a replacement unit next day and i was up and running within 24 hours. Replacement new from machinery manufacturers was on a 7 day lead time.Sean Conlin
Found the part we needed at the best price. Spoke to Rob to make sure the part was actually in stock, as many companies don't actually have the part available to ship. It was in stock ready and the part was checked and shipped and received within a couple of days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
