Optical sensors are easy to set up, easy to use
The new B45 series of intelligent optical sensors from ABB Control is designed to offer maximum versatility and ease of use for a wide variety of control applications.
It is supplied in either a shaft or a hollow shaft version.
True lines on disc gives the encoder the advantage of being very accurate compared with encoders where interpolation is used.
The 2MC encoder is supplied with a TTL output.
It can be supplied with either a shielded cable or with a ribbon cable mounted with a10-pin IDC connector, which makes the encoder HP compatible.
Shaft versions can be specified at 2, 3 or 4mm.
The hollow shaft comes in 1.5, 2 or 3mm and with a 0.125in hollow bore.
The encoder features an operating temperature range from -20 to +70C, and is suitable for rotational speeds up to 12,000rev/min.
The IP rating is IP50 for the ribbon cable version and IP54 for the shielded cable version.
Also available is a wide range of accessories for mounting the encoder onto many different types of motors.
