Incremental encoder takes a heavy load

A new heavy-duty incremental encoder features a three-bearing design that enables high axial and radial shaft loading, while sustaining speeds in excess of 5000rev/min.

New from Stegmann is the HD20-S31 heavy duty incremental encoder, featuring a three-bearing design that enables high axial and radial shaft loading, while sustaining speeds in excess of 5000rev/min.

This incremental encoder provides IP65 protection, and features a small two-inch diameter housing and a heavy-duty shaft.

It is ideal for applications where belt pulleys or other load-producing hardware are attached directly to the encoder shaft, and it eliminates the need for bulky and expensive bearing isolation modules.

The HD20-S31 provides 10 to 2500pulse/rev with line-driver or open-collector outputs.

With standard duty cycles, the HD20-S31 can provide more than double the bearing life of incremental encoders that feature a standard two bearing design, at the same shaft loading.

This incremental encoder provides maximum output frequency to 100kHz and maximum operating speed to 5000rev/min.

Maximum radial shaft loading is 70lb and maximum axial shaft loading is 80lb.
