Safety first for explosion-proof encoder
Rotary encoder is designed for application in environments where exposure to explosive gases is unavoidable.
Encoder Technology offers an explosion-proof version of the EC58 rotary encoder for application in environments where exposure to explosive gases is unavoidable, such as paint-spray lines, printing machines or silage systems The rotary encoder with a standard housing diameter of 58mm features an overall length of only 83mm and complies with the requirements of the Directive 94/9/EG (ATEX 100a)
The encoder is available with line counts of 250 to 5000.
The maximum surface temperature is 120C.
Before the housing attains the maximum permissible temperature, an additional temperature sensor triggers a warning signal to return the system to a safe operating condition. Request a free brochure from Encoder Technology ...
