EXPLOSION-PROOF ROTARY ENCODERS

For manufacturing systems in environments where exposure to explosive gases is unavoidable (for example on paint-spray lines, printing machines or silage systems), Heidenhain Corp. has introduced an explosion-proof version of its ROD 420 rotary encoder. The rotary encoder with a standard housing diameter of 58 mm features an overall length of 83 mm and complies with the requirements of the directive 94/9 EG (ATAX 100a). The encoder is available with line counts of 250 to 5000.

The maximum surface temperature is 120°C. 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.
