Incremental optical encoders, Ex certified (ATEX / IECEx)
The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex has explosion protection according to ATEX / IECEx (gas: zones 1 and 2, dust: zones 21 and 22). With its pressure-resistant, thick-walled housing made of seawater-resistant aluminium, it is ideally suited for use in hazardous areas with heavy-duty requirements. The high-quality anodized coating offers high protection against corrosion.
Reliable
The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex works reliably even under extreme conditions in hazardous areas, e.g. in the oil and gas industry as well as in petrochemical applications.
- High shock and vibration resistance
- Large bearings with high dynamic load rating
- Saltwater-proof, wet areas in rolling mills
- Shaft made of non-corroding steel
- Ambient temperature range -40 °C up to max. +60 °C (T6 bis +55 °C)
Safe
The modern electronics of the incremental optical encoder is characterized by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It is embedded in a very robust, thick-walled housing.
- Ex-proof according to ATEX / IECEx
- Up to 250,000 pulses HTL / TTL
- Up to 2,500 sine periods
- EMC cable glands
Tailor-made
The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex offers a wide variety of device and signal options and can be optimally adapted to the respective area of application.
- High speeds up to 6000 rpm (solid shaft) and 4000 rpm (hollow shaft)
- Second signal output (incremental)
Comfortable
The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex can be easily integrated into existing mounting situations and plc systems. A wide range of mechanical accessories and engineering support ensure precise and safe assembly, even in difficult mounting locations.
- Generously dimensioned terminal box
- Suitable mechanical accessories and mounting service (optional)
