IEC Ex & ATEX Certified Bearingless Encoder
This bearingless encoder delivers safe, accurate position feedback in hazardous and explosive environments. It carries both IEC Ex and ATEX certifications, making it an ideal solution for applications where safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance are essential. The encoder is certified to IEC Ex Ex mc IIC T4 Gc (Zone 2, Gas Group IIC) and ATEX II 3G Ex mc IIC T4 Gc, allowing it to operate safely in areas with potentially explosive gas atmospheres.
The encoder supports both absolute and incremental position feedback to meet a wide range of motion control requirements. Absolute versions communicate through the SSI interface with MSB-aligned data, while incremental models offer Push-Pull and Line Driver outputs with AB0/AB0 signals. This flexibility allows easy integration with PLCs, servo drives, motion controllers, and other industrial automation systems.
Its bearingless, contactless design eliminates mechanical wear, reduces maintenance requirements, and improves long-term reliability. The encoder also allows custom ring dimensions, enabling engineers to optimize the design for their specific shaft size, installation space, and application requirements.
Built for harsh industrial environments, the encoder features IP68 protection against dust, water, and contaminants. It withstands demanding operating conditions while maintaining accurate, stable position feedback over an extended service life. These features make it an excellent choice for oil and gas equipment, chemical processing plants, mining machinery, industrial automation systems, heavy-duty motors, and other hazardous-area applications where dependable position measurement and certified explosion protection are required.
