Angular Encoders Through Induction Process
Flux, a leading manufacturer of precision measurement technology, has announced a new size option for its Ind-Max range of inductive angle encoders. The new 300mm size option is designed for harsh environments and offers enhanced capabilities suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
Key Features and Benefits
The new 300mm inductive encoder size in the Ind-Max series boasts several key features and benefits:
- Large Size (300mm Diameter): The large size allows for use in applications requiring large rotary measurement ranges or where larger shafts need to be measured.
- Inductive Sensing Technology: This technology ensures high reliability and durability under harsh environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, contamination, and mechanical stress.
- Contactless Measurement: The contactless measurement reduces wear and increases long-term stability and maintenance intervals.
- Programmable Overrange Alarm Values: The encoders come with programmable overrange alarm values, wide temperature compensation ranges, and robust load resistance characteristics tailored for industrial robustness.
- Compatibility: The option is compatible with the existing DC300 control boards and modular setups, allowing easy integration into existing industrial control and monitoring systems.
Advantages
The advantages of this 300mm inductive encoder size in the Ind-Max series include:
- Enhanced Durability: The encoder offers enhanced durability in harsh and demanding industrial environments.
- Higher Accuracy and Resolution: The encoder provides higher accuracy and resolution over large diameters, beneficial for applications like heavy machinery, wind turbines, and large rotating equipment.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: The lack of mechanical contact results in maintenance-free operation.
- Broad Applicability: The large size facilitates encoding on bigger shafts, broadening the scope of industrial machinery where precise angular position measurement is needed.
Expanding the Ind-Max Range
This size upgrade completes the Ind-Max range by extending its applicability to larger mechanical systems requiring rugged, precise angular measurement in challenging conditions. The new size option expands the available sizes, now ranging from 125mm to 375mm OD.
Absolute Position Measurement and IP67 Rating
The Ind-Max encoders offer absolute position measurement, ensuring consistent and accurate measurement throughout their operational life. They also have an IP67-rated design, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress.
Ind-Max Encoders: A Reliable Choice
The Ind-Max encoders are immune to magnetic and electromagnetic interference, making them suitable for demanding environments. Despite their size, they come standard with thousands of configuration options, allowing for customization to specific needs. The encoders have an enhanced temperature range, broad operating and mounting options, and a non-contact design, making them suitable for high-speed applications without the risk of mechanical wear.
In conclusion, Flux's new 300mm size option for the Ind-Max range of inductive angle encoders offers a robust, precise, and versatile solution for large-scale industrial applications in harsh environments.
