Ex Proof Absolute Encoder
Ex Proof Absolute Encoder
Hengstler, Germany has launched Acuro® AX65 - the market’s most compact explosion-proof Absolute Encoder in dimension of 70 mm depth and 59 mm diameter - typically half the size of conventional explosion-proof encoders. Highly suitable for system designers seeking space-saving solutions, the device can be replaced separately from the cable, the presence of fewer hood screws, and the potential for ring network configuration (less wiring), which makes it an attractive proposition for customers looking to lower their total cost of ownership (TCO). Among numerous attributes, international explosion-proof certification (both ATEX and IECEx for mining, gas, dust) makes the AX65 ideal for global markets that include oil and gas platforms, mines and chemical plants to list but a few. Moreover, the design team at Hengstler has also ensured the AX65 is equally adept in environments subject to constant salt water exposure (thanks to the use of a marine-grade stainless steel housing), while shock resistance of 2000 m/s² and axial/radial shaft load capability of 300 N brings into a range a whole host of applications such as enamelling production line equipment, bottling machines, mixers and silo works, for example.
