Robust absolute rotary encoders

25 June 2014 Switches, Relays & Keypads

Hengstler’s AR60 and AR 62/63 encoders provide a magnetic single-and multi-turn with a resolution of up to 28 bits.

The electronic multi-turn is battery- and contact-less, ensuring a high shock and vibration resistance. The encoders have been approved by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority and now carry the ECE approval mark. Being certified with the E1 marking means that they can be used in any vehicle with a 12 V or 24 V electrical system.

Engineered to counter high axial and radial shaft forces, the HengstlerAR62/63 also offers generously dimensioned, rigid ball bearings. Together with a high degree of protection up to IP69K these encoders are designed for tough everyday use in construction and commercial vehicles.

The encoder will cope with extreme acceleration, marked changes in climatic conditions and even work normally underwater. This makes it ideal for use in wind turbines, ships and commercial vehicles as well as in presses and wood-processing machines.

In terms of its electrical design, the AR62 is compatible with standard industrial controller systems. The interfaces available are SSI, BiSS, CANopen and analog. The encoder is available with resolutions up to 12 bits as a single-turn unit and up to 16 bits as a multi-turn device.
