Encoder Eex Hog 161, IECEx Standard

Baumer’s new EEx HOG 161 Encoder is the youngest heavy-duty incremental encoder in explosion-proof design with IECEx certifcation in device category 2 G. The encapsulated, pressure-proof device for enhanced safety is compliant to both ATEX Directive 94/9/EG for potentially explosive atmospheres (II 2 G Ex d e IIC T6 Gb) and IECEx scheme (Ex d e IIC T6 Gb) and this way allows for deployment in anyone of the 30 countries worldwide that have adopted the IECEx standard. Manufacturers of export-oriented equipment in particular benefit from the international certification. The encoder operates on the optical sensing technique and depending on the product variant provides 250 to 2.500 impulses per turn. Inner through-hollow shaft diameters from 30 to 70 mm, high bearing load capacity of 650 N radial and 450 N axial ensure maximum service life. The robust housing will reliably protect the encoder against adverse ambient conditions and the large terminal box enabling four different mounting positions will considerably ease electrical installation. The Baumer Group is an international leading manufacturer and developer of sensors, encoders, measuring instruments and components for automated image-processing. Baumer combines innovative technology and customer-oriented service into intelligent solutions for factory and process automation and offers a uniquely wide range of related products and technologies.
