TNE-100H 100cpr Encoder Handwheel
Encoder handwheel, 100 cpr, for manual jogging on a CNC controller with an MPG input.
Overview
The TNE-100H is an encoder handwheel, 100 counts per revolution, for manual jogging on a CNC controller that accepts a handwheel or MPG (manual pulse generator) input.
This is the same encoder Tiny Controls builds into its own TNC-M33 controller's front panel, where turning the wheel jogs an axis by a fixed distance per detent - useful for positioning a workpiece or checking a program step by step without keying in a jog distance each time. Sold standalone here, it suits a retrofit onto a controller with a compatible MPG input, or replacing a worn handwheel on an existing setup.
100 cpr is a coarse resolution by encoder standards, appropriate for a hand-turned wheel where the operator's own sense of how far they've turned it matters more than fine electrical resolution - a jog handwheel doesn't need the 1000 cpr the TNE-1000 in this catalogue offers, which is built for shaft-coupled feedback instead of hand operation.

Questions
Will this work with any CNC controller, or does it need a specific kind of input?
It needs a controller that accepts a handwheel or MPG (manual pulse generator) input — it's meant for retrofitting onto a controller with a compatible MPG input, or replacing a worn handwheel on an existing setup.
Is this the same handwheel you use in your own TNC-M33 controller?
Yes, exactly the same encoder — sold standalone here for retrofits or replacements.
What actually happens when I turn it — does it jog a fixed distance, or is it continuous?
It jogs an axis by a fixed distance per detent as you turn it — useful for positioning a workpiece or stepping through a program without keying in a jog distance each time.
100 cpr sounds low for an encoder — is that actually enough resolution?
Yes, that's deliberate. For a hand-turned wheel, the operator's own sense of how far they've turned it matters more than fine electrical resolution. Fine resolution like the 1000 cpr TNE-1000 in this catalogue is for shaft-coupled feedback, not something a jog handwheel needs.
