Heavy Duty Encoder
Hohner’s Heavy Duty range for Heavy Industry offers robust and accurate solutions. These encoders are designed to offer maximum robustness and reliability, as well as to ensure the best performance even in the toughest conditions, such as extreme temperatures, shocks and vibrations, dust and humidity. In addition, the 100/Duo and 100H/Duo encoders have hybrid bearings that allow, on the one hand, an electrical insulation of the shaft of ≥ 2,5 KV CC, and on the other hand, the ability of bear large shaft loads. This turns them into the most suitable for the heavy industry. Single output: - SERIE 100: Shaft from Ø 11 mm - SERIE 100H: Blind hollow shaft from Ø 12 to 16 mm Dual output: - SERIE 100 DUO: Shaft from Ø 11 mm - SERIE 100H DUO: Blind hollow shaft from Ø 12 to 16 mm - Resoluti on up to 5.000 pulses per turn - External diameter 100 mm - Hybrid bearings for extended lifetime - Shaft insulation up to 2,5 kV - Protection class IP66 according to DIN EN 60529 - Connection by terminal box with plug-in spring terminal connectors, rotatable through 360° - Single and Dual output available
