The hollow shaft encoders provide motion control for industrial, commercial, and home appliances with low power use and durability in various sizes.
Same Sky’s Motion and Control Group has announced the addition of hollow shaft ring encoders to its line of panel mount incremental encoders. The RING family of encoders comes in sizes ranging from 23 mm to 56.5 mm, with low-profile designs from 9.5 mm to 20 mm. They feature hollow shaft diameters from 9 mm to 38.5 mm and shaft lengths from 5 mm to 15.5 mm, making them suitable for a variety of applications, including industrial and commercial equipment and home appliances.
The hollow shaft ring encoders are suitable for a wide range of users, including industrial equipment manufacturers, commercial equipment designers, home appliance manufacturers, OEMs, and those in automation and robotics. These encoders are suitable for machinery, automation systems, and control systems that require precise motion sensing and feedback, as well as for products like washing machines, dishwashers, and other appliances needing rotational feedback. Their versatility makes them beneficial across multiple sectors that demand accuracy in motion control.
Some of the key characteristics of the hollow shaft ring encoders include:
- Power Supply: 5 V
- Current Consumption: 1 mA
- Output: 2-bit quadrature, channel A leads channel B by 90° with clockwise rotation
- Output Resolution: 15 PPR
- Insulation Resistance at 250 Vdc: 100 MΩ
- Dielectric Strength (for 1 minute at sea level): 300 Vac
- Electrical Travel: Continuous
- Contact Bounce at 15 RPM: 2 ms
These encoders offer 5 Vdc input voltage, 1 to 10 mA current consumption, single-ended quadrature outputs, and resolutions from 10 to 20 PPR. They also operate within a temperature range of -30 to 80°C, provide haptic detent feedback, and have a rotational life cycle of 30,000.
