Incremental Encoder for I/38Z Motors

Power supply: 5V DC | Shaft diameter: 4-8mm (Steel) | Output: Push-Pull | Protection: IP54/IP65 | Bearing life: 1.5 x 10⁹ revolutions | Pulses per revolution: 1-2500 PPR | Maximum frequency: 100 kHz | Weight: 180 grams (Standard) | Temperature: -10-70 °C | Connection: Terminal block

Small shaft motors require compact encoders that do not compromise mechanical rigidity or starting torque in demanding industrial applications.

The I/38Z Incremental Motor Encoder solves this with its recessed spring articulation, allowing compatibility with Ø4÷8mm shafts via bushings and offering Push-Pull or Line Driver output.

Constructed of aluminum and steel with long-life bearings, it withstands 10G vibration and temperatures from -10 to 70 °C. This encoder is available in guemisa.es.

  • LED with over 100,000 hours of guaranteed lifespan.
  • Bearing life of 1.5 x 10^9 turns.
  • Vibration resistance of 10G in the range of 10÷2000Hz.
  • Flexible power supply of 5V ±5% or 12÷24 V (DC).

Technical Frequently Asked Questions

How does the standard version differ from the IP65 waterproof option of the I/38Z?

The standard version offers IP54 protection, while the watertight option adds complete sealing for more demanding environments. Both share the same aluminum and steel housing, but the IP65 option requires additional specification when ordering.

What alignment precautions are required for the I/38Z shaft during assembly?

The encoder supports axial compensation of ±0.2 mm and radial compensation of ±0.2 mm. It is crucial to respect these tolerances to avoid premature wear of the bearings, which have a lifespan of 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions, during installation.

What connectors and output options are available for the I/38Z?

Push-Pull or Line Driver outputs are offered with a maximum consumption of 30 mA. Connections include terminal blocks or cable end connectors such as VMC, TMC, VLC, and TLC, depending on the required electronic configuration.
