Incremental Encoder for I/46S Motors
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Encoder, Incremental Encoder, Incremental Encoder for Motors, SENSORS
In motor control applications, the need for precise position detection in confined spaces requires compact and robust sensors. The I/46S Incremental Motor Encoder addresses this challenge with its hollow shaft design, enabling direct integration without additional mechanical interference.
The technical solution incorporates ball bearings with a certified service life of 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions and a starting torque exceeding 15 g·cm. This ensures operational reliability in industrial environments where vibrations and load cycles demand highly durable components.
The anodized aluminum housing provides impact resistance up to 50 G and protects the internal electronics. Available in IP65 or IP66 configurations for sealed environments, this model is available in guemisa.es.
- Anodized aluminum housing for industrial durability and corrosion protection in demanding environments.
- Hollow stainless steel shaft Ø6-8mm allows direct installation on motors without additional external couplings.
- Push-Pull, Line Driver or PNP/NPN output offers interface flexibility with standard TTL and CMOS controllers.
- Bearing life of 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions ensures long-term stability in high-speed applications.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
How does the I/46S differ from the I/58M model?
The I/46S is a miniature encoder with a hollow shaft (Ø6-8mm) and weighing 230g, designed for confined spaces. The I/58M is typically larger and more robust, geared towards heavy-duty industrial applications requiring higher radial and axial load capacity.
What alignment precautions does the I/46S shaft require?
The special tangential coupling allows for compensation of significant misalignments, up to ±0.2 mm axially and ±0.05 mm radially. This facilitates direct installation on motors without the need for complex centering adjustments or external adapters.
What connectors and output options are available for the I/46S?
Connection terminals (terminal box), direct cable, or VM/TM connector are available as needed. Furthermore, the electronics allow for configuration of Push-Pull, Line Driver, PNP, or NPN outputs, adapting the model to standard TTL and CMOS controllers.
