The ATEX heavy-duty incremental encoder is engineered for reliable speed and position feedback in hazardous industrial environments. Certified for ATEX Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22, it is ideal for industries where explosive gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present, including oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and bulk material handling.
Its 77 mm heavy-duty housing provides exceptional mechanical strength for demanding applications. In addition, the encoder supports resolutions of up to 10,000 pulses per revolution (PPR), delivering accurate motion feedback for motors, conveyors, cranes, and industrial automation systems.
The encoder offers multiple output circuit options, including NPN, PNP, Push-Pull, Line Driver, and Universal, allowing seamless integration with PLCs, servo drives, and industrial control systems. A 14 mm solid shaft and cable output simplify installation while ensuring reliable signal transmission.
Built for continuous operation in harsh conditions, the encoder features IP65 protection against dust and water ingress and supports shaft speeds up to 6,000 rpm. As a result, it delivers dependable performance even in demanding heavy-duty environments.
