Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the MB1-3600 SAE J1939 magnetic absolute encoder?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M12 connectors and cables and Novotechnik rotary sensor couplings and accessories.
How do I order the MB1-3600 SAE J1939 magnetic absolute encoder?
The order code has six fields: mechanical version, revolutions, interface, parameters, speed, and connection. For example, MB1-3601-244-J14-FM5 is the synchronous flange version with a Ø6 mm x 12.5 mm shaft, 44 revolutions (15840°), SAE J1939 CAN interface with one position and one speed, 250 kBaud, and a 5-pin M12x1 connector. All the options for each field are available in the order code configurator on this page.
Under what conditions does the MB1-3600 SAE J1939 magnetic absolute encoder operate?
Operating temperature: -30 … +85 °C.
