A/963C Fieldbus Absolute Encoder

Aluminum housing with 63 mm square flange | CANopen (C2) or CAN fiber optic (CF) interface | Max. transmission speed 1 MBaud | Max. resolution 16 bits/revolution · 30 bits in 16384 revolutions | Binary output code | Power supply 10–30 V DC, max. consumption 2.5 W | Ø10 h8 shaft in stainless steel | Max. radial/axial load 40/110 N | IP64 protection on shaft (IP66 sealed) | Operating temperature -40 … +85 °C

In industrial environments that require a compact absolute encoder in a CANopen network, the A/963C is mounted with a standard metal housing and square flange, and offers high resolution with a very good price/performance ratio.

The A/963C is a single-turn or multi-turn absolute encoder with a CANopen (C2) or fiber optic CAN (CF) interface and a CAN transceiver compliant with ISO 11898, with a transmission speed of up to 1 MBaud. It allows selection of 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, or 65536 steps per revolution and 1, 4096, or 16384 revolutions, with a maximum of 30 bits in binary code. Two LEDs indicate the status.

Constructed with an aluminum housing and a 63 mm square flange, with a Ø10 h8 stainless steel shaft, it supports radial and axial loads of 40 and 110 N. It features IP64 protection on the shaft side (IP66 in the sealed version), withstands 30 G impacts and 10 G vibrations, and operates from -40 to +85 °C. Available in guemisa.es.

  • Interface CANopen until 1 MBaud, also via fiber optics (CF).
  • Resolution of up to 16 bit per turn and 30 bit in 16384 turns.
  • CAN transceiver according to ISO 11898 and 2 LED of state.
  • Nutrition 10–30 V DC with maximum consumption of 2.5 W.
