Incremental rotary encoder MZI 594

magneticinductive24 Vdc

Developed in collaboration with wind turbine manufacturers Wind turbines, with encoder applications such as generator speed feedback, often comes with specific challenges. The turbines are often installed in hard-to-access locations, where encoders must endure really rough conditions. This type of inductive incremental encoder was developed based on what wind turbine producers have kept on asking for: long lifetime, minimized impact on performance due to environmental conditions and ease of installation and commissioning. The result is an inductive 58 mm incremental encoder in a bearingless design. Superior lifetime due to bearingless design Sliding shaft arrangement to compensate for thermal impact Scanning quality is unaffected by humidity, dust and other contamination Immune to electrical or magnetic fields due to the inductive scanning technology Compact (ø58 mm x 45 mm) and very easy to install correctly With the use of inductive scanning, the encoder can deliver high resolution - up to 8192 pulses per revolution - with high accuracy and unaffected by humidity or contamination. Its lifetime is not restricted by wear on the bearings. The bearingless design also make for a very compact solution. The unique sliding shaft design automatically compensates for movements of the generator or motor rotor shaft caused by thermal expansion. All in all, this encoders is a very robust 58 mm encoder that will keep on doing its job year after year, with or without your attention. It is one of our future “silent” heroes.
