Encoders - Now offered with wear-free Multiturn Technology

Aldingen - Hengstler has expanded its tried and tested ACURO-XR® family of absolute encoders by integrating state-of-the-art, wear-free and highly reliable multiturn technology.

Encoders of the new ACURO-XR® series are your reliable partners for applications under harsh operating conditions. They are capable of withstanding highest acceleration rates, mechanical stresses, extreme climatic fluctuations and even underwater operating conditions.

The ACURO-XR® series is characterized by an extraordinarily rugged mechanical design, highest reliability and a long useful life. Its highly robust enclosure and generously dimensioned bearing easily cope with high axial and radial forces up to 300N. The PCB with its evaluation electronics, sensor asic and electronic multiturn features multiple fastening and protection against humidity, corrosion and contact breakage. Extremely high shock accelerations up to 2,000 m/s² and vibrations up to 200 m/s² are no problem for ACURO-XR®.

A high-grade sealing concept protects the encoder against penetrating liquids (IP69k). 12-bit resolution is achieved within one turn, and the encoder is equipped with new, electronic multiturn technology to detect and output the number of turns. It works wear-free, without any gears and contacts, without any moving parts, and without battery. The max. multiturn resolution has been increased to 24 bits.

ACURO-XR® is accommodated in a compact 58-mm industrial-standard enclosure and excels by its extremely small installation depth of only 32 mm. Its wide temperature range reaching from -40 to +100 °C makes it suitable for a virtually unlimited field of applications.
