Robust rotary encoders for arduous applications
A pair of new, sealed, incremental rotary encoders of sturdy construction with reinforced bearings capable of withstanding high axial and radial loads of up to 75N, ensuring years of trouble-free service in demanding environments, is new from Heidenhain.
The IP66-rated ROD 600-series encoders provide accurate feedback of rotary speeds up to 12,000rpm and may be used in applications involving extremes of temperature from −20°C to +85°C and relative humidity up to 93%. Five different line counts can be specified from 512 to 5,000, with accuracy being ±1/20th of the grating period. The electrical output signals are TTL for the ROD 620 model and HTL for the ROD 630 model. Both models include a flange that allows axial or radial connection and a solid, stable shaft of 15mm diameter with key.
