Looking for tight / heavy encoders

Parts Questions
1

Hey people,

I’m looking for encoders. The pinout doesn’t matter as well as the gird. The only thing that is important is, that they have a great feel. All encoders I’ve tested (PEC11, PEC12, PEC16, EC12, EC16) are too “light” so to say. There is no resistance when turning the knob. I need encoders that need more torque to get turned.

Any ideas where I can find those?

Best,
Chris

Have you tested the detendend versions, too?

I don’t want them to be detented.

You would have resistance :slight_smile:

sry to wake up an old thread, but : did you find any?

i’m just starting out here, and learning about encoders for a ‘Monome Arc’ like project (monome arc parts at DuckDuckGo), i’ve ordered these: https://sinuss.nl/componenten/halfgeleiders-sensors/rotary-encoders/9358234-eaw0j-b24-ae0128l-encoder-rotary-128pos-8-bit-bourns
* 128 ppr absolute,
* though only 50000 rotations, no button, no led
