Technical Frequently Asked Questions

What alignment precautions does the A/368 axle require?

The stainless steel shaft supports a maximum radial and axial load of 2 kg. It is crucial to respect the starting torque of 18 / 30 / 8 gcm to avoid damage to the sealed ball bearings, ensuring a service life of 1.5×10^9 revolutions under normal operating conditions.

What connectors and output options are available for the A/368?

Multiple connection options are offered, such as PT02A16-26P IP65 or MS310A18-1P IP65. Outputs include standard parallel, SSI, analog current (mA) or voltage (V), and the option for resolutions from 1 to 12 bits, adapting to different electronic interface needs.

What are the operating temperature limits of the A/368?

Operation is guaranteed between 0 and +70°C, with a wide storage range of -30 to +85°C. The device can withstand burn-in at +75°C for 72 hours, allowing its use in demanding thermal environments without compromising the integrity of the optical or electronic circuitry.

How is the analog signal integrated with external control systems?

The analog output converts the angular position into current (1–20 mA) or voltage (0–10 V), providing a signal proportional to the value. This allows direct connection to PLC or controller inputs that require line driver signals, facilitating position reading without the need for additional decoders.
