Incremental Encoder Kit and Low Cost I/44EA
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Encoder, Incremental Encoder, Incremental Encoder Kit Low Cost, SENSORS
The I/44EA incremental encoder addresses the need for precise positioning in industrial applications where cost and robustness are paramount. Its size 18 metal housing offers superior mechanical protection against vibration and dust, ensuring operational stability in harsh environments without sacrificing the resolution required for servo or stepper motor control.
The technical solution integrates an LED light source with a lifespan of over 100,000 hours, ensuring continuous operation without premature failure. It supports maximum continuous speeds of 5000 RPM and a starting torque of 12 gcm, with ball bearings designed to withstand up to 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions of operation, guaranteeing durability in intensive cycles.
Constructed with an aluminum base and stainless steel cover, the encoder withstands operating temperatures from -10 to 70°C and shock resistance of 40G x 11ms. Its compact design allows for easy integration into existing control systems, offering flexible connections via cable or dedicated connectors. Available in guemisa.es.
- Lifespan of the ball bearing is 1.5 x 10^9 turns.
- Vibration resistance of 10 G in the range of 10÷2000Hz.
- LED light source with over 100,000 hours of lifespan.
- IP65 protection on outlet and shaft according to CEI EN 60529 standards.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
How does the I/44EA model differ from the I/E6 Encoder of the same series?
The I/44EA is a size 18 version with a metal housing and low cost, while the I/E6 is typically a more compact model or one with different resolution specifications. The I/44EA stands out for its mechanical robustness (impact resistance of 40G) and its ability to withstand radial loads up to 1 kg, making it ideal for applications where bearing durability is critical.
What alignment precautions does the I/44EA shaft require during installation?
The 6mm diameter stainless steel shaft must be free of obstructions and properly aligned with the motor or encoder wheel to prevent unwanted axial loads. It is recommended to ensure that the starting torque of 12 gcm is not exceeded during commissioning, verifying the direction of rotation as viewed from the shaft side to confirm the standard push-pull output.
What connectors and output options are available for the I/44EA?
The model supports Push-Pull or Line Driver outputs, with standard 5V ±5% power supply or an optional 12÷24V supply. Connections include CVC cable, VMC connectors (7 pins), TMC connectors (sealed 7 pins), and terminal blocks for direct panel integration, allowing flexible configurations depending on the system's electrical environment.
