Turck has announced RI360P-QR24, its first non-contact inductive universal encoder with high resolution that is immune to external magnetic fields. The sensor and the positioning element of the encoder are fully encapsulated and therefore designed as two independent and fully sealed units that work together without contact. Any vibration or shock from the shaft is therefore not passed on to the sensor. Thanks to its high degree of protection to IP69K and over 18-bit resolution, machine downtimes and maintenance times resulting from encoder wear are from now on a thing of the past, even with high-precision and high-speed applications.
Turck has developed a new parameterisation and mounting concept, which turns the RI360P-QR24 into a universal encoder for any standard industrial application. Users can parameterise the device either as an incremental, multi-turn or single-turn encoder. This allows output signals, switch points and measuring ranges to be set individually via IO Link. Moreover, Turck offers a high-resolution variant with an SSI output, a Modbus and voltage/current version, as well as an encoder for use on mobile machines. The mounting concept extends the application range and adaptor rings enable the encoder to be fitted on all standard shafts with diameters up to 20 mm.
