Heavy duty rotary encoders resist shocks
Heavy duty rotary encoders resist extreme loads, shocks and vibrations thanks to ruggedised internal components that help ensure a long lifespan in challenging environments.
BEI Ideacod, the Strasbourg based rotary encoder manufacturer, has added a family of heavy duty versions to its range of rotary encoders The tough new Robustech range is designed to operate between -40 deg C to +100 deg C and to resist extreme loads, shocks and vibrations

BEI Systron Donner Inertial Division introduces the MotionPak II, a low cost, multi-axis, solid state, MEMS based, inertial sensor system that is accurate, rugged and highly reliable.
Non-contact angular position sensor is ultra thin
A 360 degree, sealed, non-contacting rotary sensor from is only 8mm thick and is ideal for heavy equipment, oil field, medical instrumentation, factory automation and aerospace applications.
Ruggedised internal components help ensure a long lifespan even in the most challenging environments, and advanced control of LED emissions reduces ageing and minimises temperature effects.
Robustech features DIP switch programmable resolutions up to 96000 cpt and a frequency response of 300kHz as standard.
Higher frequency responses are available on request.
A number of different voltage options are available, such as universal push-pull 5-30V or 5-36V, as well as 5V RS422.
Solutions for long cables are offered in either 5-30V supply, regulated output 5 Volt RS422, or in transistorised push-pull 11-30V.
1V peak-to-peak sine wave versions are also available.
Robustech can be supplied in a number of connection type and cable entry options.
A terminal box version features an LED display to check operation and to assist in commissioning.
IP67 rated and stainless versions are also available for more hostile environments.
BEI Ideacod's Maxcontrol system is also being offered as an option for all Robustech devices.
Maxcontrol allows the temperature, shocks, vibrations, supply voltage, quality of the signals and reading errors to be monitored for each encoder.
The new Robustech family complements BEI Ideacod's existing range of incremental and absolute encoder products, which includes well known brands like Digisine, ATEX and Blue Range.
