The new functional safety incremental encoder range from BEI Sensors is certified by TÜV Rheinland and provides the most complete safety encoder offering on the market. These encoders can be used in the highest industrial safety related applications up to SIL3/PLe Cat. 4, and are mechanically and electrically designed to safety standards EN ISO 13849-1, […]
Encoders
Bringing on-line vibration measurement to wind turbine generators
Planning maintenance activities on wind turbine generators, rather than dealing with emergencies, can result in significant reductions in operating expenses. To assist in that process, Leine and Linde offers rotary encoders equipped with a web-based Advanced Diagnostic System (ADS) providing real-time tracking of the generator condition. Especially well suited for use in wind turbine generators, […]
Programmable encoders reduce cost and effort
Incremental encoders EIL580P added as programmable product variants to the Baumer modular OptoPulse encoder series cutting down on inventory and speeding up delivery time – programmable encoders provide numerous benefits. OptoPulse EIL580P series encoders provide any pulse number from 1 to 65,536 and hence contribute towards cost-efficiency through their flexibility. Convenient reference pulse setting by […]
AutomationDirect Expands AC Motor Line
AutomationDirect has expanded its Marathon AC motor line to include lower-cost, high-performance 0.5 to 5 HP Marathon Max+ series AC motors with integrated encoder. The 230/460 VAC Max+ inverter-duty motors are designed to replace 90 and 180 volt Permanent Magnet DC (PMDC) systems, and when compared with PMDC technology, the Max+ motor is more efficient […]
Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ Interface With Model 600 Encoder
Leine & Linde introduced the use of Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ communication protocol into its rotary encoder product line in 2012, and is now offering this interface in its inductive 600 absolute rotary encoder series. DRIVE-CLiQ is an Ethernet-based protocol which interfaces with SINAMICS control systems. With a speed of 100 Mbit/s and a cycle time of […]
“MT” Series Integrated Servo System from Moog
Moog Animatics is proud to announce the availability of the Multi Turn Absolute Encoder options for our “MT” series motors. This option is a hardware-specific internal change with a required external battery for back-up to allow tracking of shaft position when no power is being applied to the SmartMotor. The “MT” series products may be […]
CUI Delivers Combination of Accuracy and Rugged Performance
CUI Inc has announced a modular encoder series that uniquely combines both accuracy and ruggedness. The AMT11 incremental encoder family is targeted at industrial applications, which are subject to vibration and contaminants – such as dust, dirt and oil – that typically stop optical encoders from working effectively. This, when combined with exceptional accuracy figures […]
Encoders with HC-HTL Outputs Drive up to 350 m cable at 100 kHz
The 700 and 800 series encoders from Leine & Linde, the HC-HTL outputs can drive a 0-30V square-wave signal with frequency of 100kHz. Signal quality exceeds industry standards for voltage amplitude and signal rise-time while driving as much as 350 meters (~1150 ft) of cable when terminated into a 40 mA resistive load. Signal integrity […]
IXARC rotary encoders with EtherCAT interface
POSITAL’s high-performance IXARC optical rotary encoders are now available with EtherCAT communications interfaces. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a special form of industrial Ethernet that eliminates the unpredictable transmission delays that characterize ‘standard’ Ethernet networks. EtherCAT networks ensure very rapid communications between a controller and other devices within a control system so that […]
