ECE approval for Hengstler encoders

November 2013 Sensors & Transducers

Hengstler AR60 and AR 62/63 encoders have been approved by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority and now carry the ECE approval mark. Certification with the E1 marking means that these robust encoders can be used in any vehicle with a 12 V or 24 V electrical system. They provide a magnetic single-and multi-turn with a resolution of up to 28 bits. The electronic multi-turn is batteryless and contactless, ensuring high shock and vibration resistance.

Engineered to counter high axial and radial shaft forces, the AR62/63 encoders also have generously dimensioned, rigid ball bearings. Together with a high degree of protection up to IP69K, they are designed for tough everyday use in construction and commercial vehicles. They will cope with extreme acceleration, marked changes in climatic conditions and even work normally under water. This makes them ideal for use in wind turbines, ships and commercial vehicles as well as in presses and wood processing machines.

In terms of electrical design, they are compatible with standard industrial controller systems. The interfaces available are SSI, BiSS, CANopen and analog. They are available with resolutions from 12 bits as a single-turn unit and 16 bits as a multi-turn device.
