Absolute single-turn encoders offer IP69K protection

June 2007 Operator Interfaces, Switches & Relays

Kübler, the specialist German counter and encoder manufacturer, has released a pair of new, robust absolute single-turn encoders in a compact 36 mm package. The 3650 and 3670 series, with magnetic sensor technology, offer a resolution of 9 bit with SSI, 4-20 mA or 0-10 V output. Available measuring ranges are 45°, 90°, 180° and 360°. The encoders are robust, compact and versatile.

The non-contact magnetic measuring systems are not subject to wear and therefore offer a long service life and with high reliability. The sturdy die-cast housing and the IP69K protection rating ensure the encoder remains sealed, even in the harshest environments. Thanks to its wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and to high resistance to humidity and condensation, these encoders are ideal for use outdoors, even where there are large fluctuations in temperature. Extremely high resistance to shock (>500g) and to vibration (>30g) guarantee that the encoders are able to withstand difficult environmental conditions, avoiding machine stoppages and the need for repairs.

Available with shafts, as well as a blind hollow shaft of up to 10 mm, the encoders can be used where space is restricted and can be mounted on a tight radius, even with large shafts. A green LED for reference point detection facilitates start-up, whilst a red LED simplifies fault diagnostics during maintenance.
