The C100 heavy-duty incremental encoder is built for reliable motion feedback in the toughest industrial environments. Designed with a 100 mm corrosion-resistant housing, it delivers accurate speed and position feedback for wind turbines, offshore equipment, steel mills, cranes, and heavy machinery. Its rugged construction withstands high mechanical loads, vibration, and harsh weather, ensuring dependable operation where standard encoders cannot.
The C100 features a blind hollow shaft or blind tapered shaft, making installation straightforward on heavy-duty drive systems. In addition, its electrically isolated shaft protects connected equipment from stray shaft currents, helping extend bearing life and improve overall system reliability.
For long-distance signal transmission, the encoder offers Power Push-Pull and Power Line Driver output circuits. It supports resolutions up to 2,500 pulses per revolution (PPR) and shaft speeds up to 6,000 rpm, providing accurate feedback for demanding motion control applications. Furthermore, users can choose from M23 connectors, screw terminals, or cable outputs to simplify installation in different machine designs.
Built with an anodized aluminum housing and stainless-steel shaft, the C100 resists corrosion, including salt mist exposure, making it especially suitable for marine and offshore environments. It also features IP65 protection, reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, and an optional operating temperature range down to -40°C, ensuring reliable performance in challenging industrial conditions.
