Single-turn Absolute Encoder A/959C
- Category: Encoder, Absolute Encoder, Single-turn Absolute Encoder, SENSORS
The A/959C Single-Turn Absolute Encoder solves the need for precise positioning in heavy industrial machinery where analog encoders fail due to electromagnetic noise or excessive vibration, guaranteeing mechanical and electrical stability in the plant.
Its absolute architecture with 16 standard bits and up to 16 available bits ensures unique reading without index pulses, using Push-Pull technology for robust signal transmission in noisy environments and high interference.
Built with bearings with a lifespan exceeding 10^5 hours and a metal housing, it supports radial loads of 40/110 N and impact resistances of 30 G x 11 ms, available in guemisa.es.
- Absolute resolution of up to 16 bits per revolution.
- Stable power supply between 10 and 30 V DC with overvoltage protection.
- Bearing life greater than 10^5 hours at 1000 rpm.
- Vibration resistance of 10 G in the range of 10 to 1000 Hz.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What alignment precautions does the A/959C axle require?
The axial compensation joint of ±0.1 mm, radial compensation joint of ±0.2 mm and angular compensation joint of ±1° must be respected to ensure reading accuracy and avoid errors in absolute coding during assembly.
What connectors and output options are available for the A/959C?
The interface includes parallel output (PP) and parallel with preset (P1), plus 20 mA Push-Pull technology, allowing direct integration into standard industrial controllers without the need for additional conversion.
What are the operating limits for temperature and humidity?
The device operates between -30 and +70 °C with storage up to +85 °C, supporting a relative humidity of 98% without a liquid state, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments and protected outdoor areas.
How does it integrate with control systems via a parallel interface?
The parallel output transmits the angular value directly in binary or Gray Code form, compatible with PLCs and data acquisition systems that require resolution of up to 16 bits per revolution without the need for analog conversion.
What certifications and standards does the A/959C meet?
The A/959C is manufactured according to ISO 9001 standards and bears the CE marking and declaration of conformity. It complies with EMC directives according to EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 for electromagnetically demanding environments. Its IP protection rating is certified according to IEC EN 60529, EN 60529, and IEC 529, and it comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of delivery.
