Incremental rotary encoders for heavy duty applications
Extremely robust by design the incremental rotary encoders FG(HJ) 40 offer a long lifetime as well as high reliability. The encoders are ideally suited for standard applications in heavy industry and offer a large variety of versions and attachment solutions.
Reliable
The incremental rotary encoders of the FG(HJ) 40 series work reliably even under extreme conditions and thus ensure high system availability. This avoids failures and downtimes.
- Large bearings with high dynamic load rating
- High shock and vibration resistance
- Shaft made of non-corroding steel
- Saltwater-proof, wet areas in rolling mills
- Temperature range -40 °C up to +100 C°
Safe
The modern electronics of the incremental rotary encoders are characterized by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It is embedded in an extremely robust, thick-walled housing.
- Up to 1 million pulses HTL / TTL
- Up to 2500 sine periods
- EMC cable glands
- Additional direction of rotation / standstill detection (optional)
