Explosion-proof Incremental Encoder I/80EXS
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Encoder, Incremental Encoder, ATEX Explosionproof Incremental Encoder, SENSORS
The I/80EXS addresses the need for position and speed measurement in critical machinery exposed to hazardous atmospheres where standard sensors pose an ignition risk. Its ATEX EEx d II C T5/T6 certification guarantees operational safety without compromising control accuracy.
The unit features an anodized aluminum housing and a 10mm diameter stainless steel shaft to withstand radial and axial loads of up to 10kg. It boasts a starting torque of 18 gcm and bearings designed for a service life exceeding 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions under normal conditions.
Designed for servo-mount installation, it withstands 12G vibrations and 50G shocks without losing mechanical integrity. It operates in a wide temperature range from -30°C to 85°C, ensuring continuous reliability in demanding industrial plants. Available in guemisa.es.
- Construction with anodized aluminum housing and Ø10mm stainless steel shaft for maximum durability.
- ATEX EEx d II C T5/T6 certification for safe operation in explosive atmospheres (except firedamp).
- It supports radial and axial loads of up to 10kg with a starting torque of 18 gcm.
- Service life of ball bearings greater than 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions under normal conditions.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
How does the I/80EXS differ from the base I/E6 model?
The I/80EXS is the ATEX-certified explosion-proof version for hazardous environments, while the I/E6 is the industry standard. They share electronics and construction, but the 80EXS has a sealed, explosion-proof housing and specific T5/T6 thermal tolerances.
What alignment precautions does the I/80EXS shaft require?
The 10mm diameter stainless steel shaft must be perfectly centered to prevent excessive axial loads. It is recommended to use grade 8.8 screws at the joint and ensure the cable is permanently connected to the housing to maintain certification integrity.
What connectors and output options are available for the I/80EXS?
Push-Pull PRO outputs, Line Driver 26LS31 or 88C30, and TTL 7404 are offered. Connections include terminal boxes (VD5) or connectors (VM, TM, VL, TL) with wiring options to suit existing electrical installations without compromising IP65/IP66 protection.
