Rotary encoder for SIL3 applications

Depending on user requirements, the rotary encoder is available in SIL3 or PLe versions, or adapted to SIL2/PLd applications. The ultra-compact SIL shaft encoder fits into a wide variety of mounting situations: for solid shaft, keyway and key provide the form closure required for reliable connection between application and encoder.

The same purpose fulfil partial keyways in blind and hollow shaft encoders with up to 15mm diameter. CD_582 uses the standard modular system of “Generation 2” absolute shaft encoders from TR-Electronic. Almost any installation situation can be implemented with the standard flange variants. This version can be implemented with two all-magnetic scans if extreme or changing temperatures pose a risk of condensation, such as in wind turbines. The diverse optical/magnetic scans offer increased precision.
