Incremental rotary encoders for heavy duty applications
FG 40-2 / FG(HJ) 40-2
Extremely robust by design the incremental rotary encoders FG(HJ) 40-2 offer a long lifetime as well as high reliability. The encoders are ideally suited for standard applications in heavy industry, such as steel and rolling mills, mining, or port and crane systems. They also offer a wide range of variants and mounting solutions.
Reliable
The incremental encoders FG(HJ) 40-2 operate reliably even under extreme conditions, ensuring high system availability. This helps prevent failures and downtime.
- Large ball bearings with high dynamic load capacity
- High shock and vibration resistance
- Stainless steel shaft
- Saltwater-proof, wet areas in rolling mills
- Temperature range from -40 °C to +100 °C
Safe
The modern electronics of the incremental encoders are characterized by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). They are embedded in extremely rugged, thick-walled housings.
- Up to 100,000 pulses HTL / TTL
- EMC cable glands
- Hollow-shaft and solid-shaft devices with shaft isolation (up to 1 kV)
Tailor-made
The incremental encoders FG(HJ) 40-2 can be optimally adapted to the specific application thanks to a wide variety of device and signal options.
- High speeds up to max. 7000 RPM (solid shaft) or 6000 RPM (hollow shaft)
- Second signal output (incremental) – in redundant design or with diff erent amplitude and impulse rate
- Wide variety of further devices and signal options
- Option to add further devices (solid-shaft devices)
Comfortable
- The incremental encoder FG(HJ) 40-2 can be easily integrated into existing mounting setups and plc systems. Engineering support and extensive mechanical accessories ensure precise and secure installation, even in challenging mounting locations.
- Generously sized terminal box
- Internal diagnostics with status output and LED indicator
- Connection options with various plugs or cables
- Suitable mounting parts and installation service (optional)
