Extremely robust singleturn absolute encoders for loopers
The singleturn absolute encoders AL…40 for loopers are especially designed for the most extreme conditions with shock loads up to 450 g. The encoders are mostly deployed in mill stands in hot rolling mills between the roller stands where they are subject to high levels of energy. The singleturn absolute encoders supply precise information about the angle position of the looper, which is used for the highly dynamic feedback speed control of the rollers.
At the same time the singleturn absolute encoders AL…40 achieve a service life that is many times longer than that of other models. Lubricated with special grease their ball bearings offer an approximately 40 per cent higher load rating.
Safe
The singleturn absolute encoders of the AL… 40 series are characterized by their extraordinarily robust, thick-walled housing, which reliably protects the modern electronics even under the most extreme conditions.
- All screwed connections are vibration resistant
- Positive connection with feather key / feather keyway
- Encapsulated electronics protected even when terminal box is open
- UL/CSA certification
