Baumer Launches Fully Reinforced Encoders for Industrial Applications

The industrial encoder product line of Baumer gets added with this series of Fully Reinforced Encoders that suit even the most challenging tasks in automation and drive engineering. The introduced HS35 and EN780 versions ensure mechanical, magnetic and electric durability of products and give the option of adjustable speed monitoring, rotation detection and performance evaluation.

Key Highlights:

• New HS35 and EN780 encoder variants for US imperial and international metric standards.
• Claims a service life of 10-20 years, approximately twice that of comparable models .
• Magnetic field immunity up to 120 mT and integrated shaft insulation up to 2.8 kV.
• Signal transmission over distances of up to 350 metres without external amplifiers.
• USB-C parameterisation and diagnostic monitoring through Baumer Sensor Suite.

What Has Been Announced

Built for tough industrial environments, it can cope with mechanical shocks, electromagnetic interference and strong magnetic fields produced by braking motors and powerful drives. This range claims to make several modifications , improvements such as large bearings, special lubricants, isolation systems and protective coatings, all with the aim of increasing longevity of the devices and reducing their operating costs. 

The encoders experience multiple tests in extreme usage conditions, including million braking cycles, so as to check their shock-resistance capabilities. 

With USB-C connectivity it has ease of commissioning and maintenance; also an easier start with using the Baumer Sensor Suite application, encoder set-up and diagnostics can be performed, and speed/position can be monitored.

Why It Matters

The encoders are suitable for demanding industrial processes, conveyor systems, and packaging machines, as well as electronically connected drives where speed measurement is critical for operations and claims higher life, lower operational costs adding to efficiency for the users.
