Immune to magnetic fields

07 November 2013

It is reported that Turck Banner has become the first manufacturer to offer a non-contact inductive universal encoder with high resolution, absolutely wear free operation, which is also immune to magnetic fields.

The sensor and the positioning element of the encoder are fully encapsulated and designed as two independent and fully sealed units that work together without contact. Thanks to its high degree of protection to IP69K and over 18-bit resolution, machine downtimes and maintenance times resulting from encoder wear are now a thing of the past.

Users can parameterize the device either as an incremental, multi-turn or single-turn encoder. This variant allows the user to also set output signals, switch points and measuring ranges individually via IO Link. Turck Banner is offering a high-resolution variant with an SSI output, Modbus and voltage/current version as well as an encoder compliant with the e1 specification, for use on mobile machines.
