  • Heavy, Mill-Duty

Solid Shaft Encoder and Hollow Shaft EncoderCheck the availability of this model. Visit Tachometers Availability for more information.

Transducer

The M4 has a high resolution incremental output of up to 1200 pulses per revolution (PPR). It uses a magnetoresistive sensing circuit for precise resolution and accuracy. The code wheel is a metal disk, not glass or plastic, for maximum reliability.

Enclosure

The rugged design of the M4 makes it perfect for virtually all industrial applications in the paper, metals, textiles, plastics, and converting industries. The enclosure seals out contamination in dusty or wet environments. The rugged cast housing will stand up to the conditions and handling usually found in these industries, rated IP66.

Motor manufacturers have spent many years improving the performance of standard, cast iron, industrial motors. The pulse generator that is used with these motors should be equal to the task. The M4 does just that.

The M4 uses features from more expensive, heavy, mill-duty designs into a cost effective package. Because of its versatility, it can be used in a wide variety of applications and industries. It can be a NEMA 56C FACE MOUNTED pulse generator with a 5/8″ diameter shaft (Figure 1), or a HOLLOW SHAFT unit for a more universal mount on shafts up to 2 3/8″ in diameter (Figure 2). Metric shaft sizes are also available.

M4 Hollow Shaft Encoder

The M4 can be used as a feedback device in AC and DC drive applications, or for instrumentation purposes into process computers, speed meters, or programmable logic controllers. It has been tested to withstand the electrically noisy environment created by high frequency AC drives.

An optional SECOND ISOLATED OUTPUT allows users to send a signal to two different locations. One can be used for drive feedback and the other can be used for instrumentation purposes, or as an on hand spare.

Optional Accessories

  • Foot Mounting Bracket
  • Second Isolated Output
  • Shaft Grounding Brush
  • Multiple Connector Options
  • Through Shaft Design
  • Marker Pulse
