Hengstler AR60 and AR 62/63 encoders have been approved by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority and now carry the ECE approval mark. Certified with the E1-marking means that these robust encoders can be used in any vehicle with a 12V or 24V electrical system.
Available from Countapulse Controls, the Hengstler encoders provide a magnetic single-and multi-turn with a resolution of up to 28 bits. The electronic multi-turn is battery- and contactless ensuring a high shock and vibration resistance. Engineered to counter high axial and radial shaft forces, the HengstlerAR62/63 encoder also offers generously dimensioned, rigid ball bearings. Together with a high degree of protection up to IP69K these encoders are designed for tough everyday use in construction and commercial vehicles. The encoder will cope with extreme acceleration, marked changes in climatic conditions and even work normally under water. This makes it ideal for use in wind turbines, ships and commercial vehicles as well as in presses and wood-processing machines.
In terms of its electrical design, the Hengstler AR62 is compatible with standard industrial controller systems. The interfaces available are SSI, BiSS, CANopen and analogue. The encoder is available with resolutions from up to 12 bits as a single-turn unit and 16 bits as a multi-turn device. Countapulse Controls is a leading southern African supplier of sensing, measurement, counting, switching, monitoring and positioning instrumentation. The company has the full backing of its German principals and offers a complete technical advisory service for the most effective use of its products in automotive and other branches of engineering.
