Single-turn Absolute Encoder A/359ZP
- Category: Encoder, Absolute Encoder, Single-turn Absolute Encoder, SENSORS
This single-turn absolute encoder solves the critical need for precise positioning in mechanical systems without requiring repetitive mechanical homing, ideal for applications where the sensor needs to be integrated directly into the motor shaft.
It offers a maximum resolution of 8192 positions configured in open collector NPN parallel output, compatible with standard supply voltages from 5V to 30V depending on the specific configuration selected for the system.
Constructed from anodized aluminum and hollow stainless steel, it withstands 50G vibrations and 50G impacts, available in guemisa.es.
- Configurable resolution from 2 to 13 bits to suit the precision required by the control system.
- Standard open collector NPN parallel output with maximum consumption of 400 mA depending on bit configuration.
- Robust construction in anodized aluminum and hollow stainless steel that supports radial and axial loads.
- Extended service life of 1.5×10^9 revolutions guaranteed under nominal operating conditions.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 359ZP model differ from the 359ZPM model?
The 359ZP is a single-turn absolute encoder without a coupling, while the 359ZPM includes a coupling pin for direct mounting to the motor shaft using screws. Both share the same maximum resolution of 8192 positions and an anodized aluminum housing, but the ZP requires direct mounting without an integrated clamping adapter.
What alignment precautions does the hollow encoder shaft require?
The hollow stainless steel shaft requires precise alignment to prevent excessive radial loads that could compromise bearing life. It is recommended to keep the axial load within specified limits and ensure that the coupling does not transmit mechanical vibrations to the encoder body during continuous operation.
What connectors and output options are available for the 359ZP?
The standard interface is parallel with a 10 mA open-collector NPN output. Different supply voltages such as 5V, 15V, or wide ranges of 8–24V can be configured according to system requirements, and Gray code output is applied by default to minimize errors during bit transitions in parallel reading.
What are the operating limits for temperature and storage?
The encoder operates stably between 0°C and +70°C, withstanding burn-in tests at +75°C for 72 hours. For storage, the unit can be kept in conditions from -30°C to +85°C without degradation of the LED or internal phototransistors, guaranteeing a lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours.
How does this encoder integrate with industrial control systems?
Its parallel output allows direct reading from PLCs or controllers that accept discrete digital signals without additional conversion. The maximum operating frequency should be consulted in the catalog, but it supports up to 6000 RPM continuous and 8000 RPM intermittent, suitable for high-speed machinery with starting torques of 85/110/50 gcm.
