These new absolute multiturn encoders (shaft and hollow shaft) are smaller than most common incremental encoders. With hollow shaft versions up to 12 mm in diameter, the installation is simplified considerably and costs are greatly reduced. The encoders feature superb mechanical shock resistance and other environmental characteristics. They are programmable (resolution, direction of rotation...) if the default settings have to be adjusted to meet specific application demands. Several programmable outputs enhance the encoders flexibility with regard to safety and control functions. A further innovation with this encoder series is the additional incremental track of 2,048 ppr.
The Model 5882 hollow shaft encoder features a 25 bit resolution and accommodates pass through shafts of 12 mm in diameter. It is just 42 mm in depth, with a 58 mm outside diameter. The hollow shaft saves up to 50% of mounting space and up to 30% of costs during installation, as there is no need for additional hardware. When maintenance is required the hollow shaft version allows for quick replacement. The model 5862, shaft version, features a shaft of up to 12 mm in diameter. This encoder innovation has been achieved using patented intelligent sensing technology designed by Kübler. The encoders do not use mechanical gearing for the multiturn encoder but a new style of 'touchless' electronic gearing. A patent was awarded for this innovative design. The advantage of this design is a very high reliability based on a redundant multiturn technology. To use the full number of all programmable features, Kübler has developed a powerful, new PC-based programming tool called Ezturn which allows the user to stock only one type of encoder and individually program the encoder depending on the specific application.
