Incremental Encoder Kit and Low Cost I/E6
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Encoder, Incremental Encoder, Incremental Encoder Kit Low Cost, SENSORS
The I/E6 Incremental Encoder Kit and Low Cost solution addresses the critical need for compact position sensors in OEM applications where budget is limited but mechanical reliability cannot be compromised. Its extremely compact design allows for integration into confined spaces without compromising the structural robustness required for industrial environments.
The technical solution is based on an anodized aluminum base and a Valox 420 cover that supports up to 8 kg of radial or axial load. The Ø8mm stainless steel shaft ensures mechanical precision, while the ball bearings guarantee a service life exceeding 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions under standard operating conditions.
Built to withstand 12 G vibrations and 50 G shocks in a temperature range of 0 to 70 °C, this encoder is ideal for heavy machinery. Its standard IP64 or IP66 sealed output protects the internal electronics from dust and splashes, ensuring continuous operation. guemisa.es.
- Extremely compact incremental encoder with square flange optimized for OEM applications.
- Flexible power supply compatible with 5÷30V sources and a maximum consumption of 120 mA in standard configuration.
- Ø8mm shaft in stainless steel supporting up to 8 kg of radial or axial load without compromising service life.
- Robust resistance to 12G vibrations and 50G impacts, ensuring reliability in harsh industrial environments.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
How does the I/E6 differ from the I-58M model in the Kit series?
The I/E6 is an extremely compact incremental encoder with a square flange, designed specifically for low-cost OEM applications, while the I-58M typically belongs to series with higher resolution or different dimensions. The E6 weighs 380 grams and has an 8mm shaft, compared to larger variants in the Kit series that can handle smaller or larger loads depending on their chassis.
What alignment precautions does the I/E6 shaft require during installation?
The 8mm diameter stainless steel shaft must be mounted ensuring that the radial or axial load does not exceed the maximum 8 kg allowed by the bearing. It is crucial to avoid excessive angular misalignment at the coupling to maintain the service life of the ball bearings, which are designed to withstand up to 1.5 x 10^9 revolutions under optimal conditions.
What connectors and output options are available for the I/E6?
The model offers multiple electronic configurations, including standard NPN, open collector PNP, Push-Pull PRO, and line driver outputs. Connection options include cable (standard 7-pin VM), terminal box, or specific connectors such as TL (sealed 10-pin) and VH (counterclockwise 12-pin), adapting to different system integration needs.
