990FS Multi-Turn Absolute Encoder (Field Bus)

Aluminum Housing | Hollow Stainless Steel Spindle | Star Coupling | Operating Temp. -40 – +85 °C | Resolution 30 bit (16384 rotations) | Weight 1400 g | Vibration 10 G | Impacts 30 G x 11 ms | Protection IP65/IP66 | Max. RPM 5000 | Power Supply 10÷30V | Interface SSI (RS422) / Field Bus

Industrial applications with high mechanical loads and axial misalignment require highly robust encoders to prevent coupling failures. The 990FS model solves this problem with its patented hollow shaft and star coupling (similar to the 72 model), offering high axial compensation for extremely stable installations.

This absolute encoder incorporates a fieldbus and SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) output according to the RS422 standard. It provides an astonishing combined maximum resolution of up to 30 bits (16,384 rotations), utilizing an ultra-precision IR photodiode optical array and an unbreakable disk. It is offered in both a standard (SL) version and a Preset (S1) version.

Weighing 1400 grams in its multi-turn version, with an aluminum chassis and a wide operating temperature range (-40 to +85 °C), it guarantees reliability in the harshest climatic and industrial conditions. Available in guemisa.es.

  • Patented internal star coupling for maximum tolerance and axial mechanical compensation.
  • Field Bus integration with direct SSI output controlled by external clock (100kHz ÷ 1MHz).
  • SMD optical technology with proven long-life LED source (exceeds 100,000 hours).
  • Comprehensive EMC certification (EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4) with polarity protection.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

How does the integrated SSI output protocol work?

Data output is controlled by an external clock. The absolute angular position value is stored instantly in the encoder and transmitted serially, always starting with the most significant bit (MSB), via the RS422/RS485 standard.

What are the mechanical load restrictions?

Thanks to its patented coupling and hollow shaft, it supports combined loads of up to 70 N (radial) and 110 N (axial), allowing continuous operation at speeds of 5000 RPM in the standard IP65 model, ensuring excellent bearing life.

Is there an option to increase protection against liquids?

Yes. The unit comes with IP65 protection by default, but by specifying Option "W" (Sealed ball bearings), the encoder is supplied with IP66 sealed bearings. Please note that this reduces the maximum continuous RPM to 2500 RPM.
