Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What immunity and protection does the M38 encoder have against liquids?
The manufacturer describes it as a magnetic encoder with a high degree of protection and immunity to oils and liquids. Shaft-side protection: IP64 standard, IP66 with sealed bearings (Z), and IP53 with low-torque bearings (B). Output-side protection: depending on the connection (IP65 with CV cable).
What output electronics are available for the M38 encoder?
Line Driver 26LS31 (N, 35 mA), Line Driver ET7272 (Z, 30 mA), Standard NPN (no code, 10 mA), NPN Open Collector (K, 10 mA; R, 70 mA) and NPN (Q, 70 mA).
What rotation speed and protection level options does it offer?
It offers 6000 rpm with IP64 in the standard version, 3000 rpm with sealed IP66 protection (option Z) and 12000 continuous rpm with low torque IP53 (option B).
