Originally conceived for the North American Market, HS 35 now reveals a general interest in the “all-American guy”, especially in India and China. We are convinced that Italy and more European countries offer a considerable market potential for this encoder platform. The Baumer HS35 combines a rugged HeavyDuty design with an unrivalled precision into a…
High performance, hollow-shaft encoder features sine and cosine output
Baumer has introduced the high performance HS35S Sin/Cos Encoder to its family of incremental hollow-shaft encoders. Ideal for motor and drive control in a range of heavy duty industries and harsh environments, this encoder’s ultra-precise optical scanning system delivers unrivaled sine-cosine 1V P-P output for exact positioning systems with absolute accuracy to 60 arc seconds…
Magnetic ring encoder has speed feedback for large shafts
The constant challenge in the wind industry is to increase the output power of the turbines at the same time as reducing weight. A current trend is to use permanent magnet generators in order to exclude the gearbox and thus decrease the total weight. These solutions often require a speed feedback encoder mounted on the…
Encoder diagnostics for Leine & Linde devices
After 10 years of service, an updated version of the popular ADS (Advanced Diagnostic System) has been launched by Leine & Linde. The new ADS Online is Leine & Linde’s proprietary advanced encoder diagnostic tool that is tailored to supporting condition-based maintenance. The system analyzes rotary encoder condition and warns of impending faults before they…
Magnetic-tape encoder mounts to large shafts for speed and position monitoring
For speed and position monitoring on large diameter shafts, manufacturer Baumer introduces the HDMag line of high-precision, bearing-less, and contact-free magnetic tape encoders. Replacing expensive and complicated specialized solutions that require belts, gears, couplings, and linkages, the HDMag series of encoders is easy to install and will direct mount onto almost any large-shaft torque motor…
Rugged Encoders Ready for Harsh Wind Work
A manufacturer provides a line of reliable encoders to withstand harsh conditions and monitor them in the nacelle, blade, tower and foundation. The ultra-precise magnetic hollow-shaft encoders mount directly onto generator shafts up to 740-mm dia, and a 27-mm profile works well in limited-space environments. HDMag Encoders provide 17-bit absolute single-turn resolution, which delivers accurate…
A fiber optic encoder for on or offshore
A manufacturer of industrial encoders has developed one for the wind industry. Scancon’s SCH94 is a Ø 94 hollow shaft encoder, with options of Ø 12, Ø 16, or Ø 17 mm as well. The super heavy duty encoder can be used for up 5-MW generators, on or off shore applications, can resist almost any heavy duty exposure, mechanical and electrical.
