- Compatible with the “Magcon” quick-connect device
Description
The
4B heavy duty aluminium Rotech rotary shaft encoder is used primarily
for protecting equipment and personnel from dangerous underspeed/belt
slip conditions in extreme environments. Other applications include
accurate speed control, direction of rotation detection, gate position
indication and counting the number of revolutions of the shaft.
An inductive sensing device in the body of the encoder detects a
steel rotor. On slow speed or accurate position control, a photo diode
detects the slots on a steel disk. One pulse is created for each rotor
or slot so the unit can be connected directly to a PLC/computer or 4B
control module.
The shaft to be monitored is drilled and taped to take the 1/2 in.
UNC Rotech Bolt. The unit is secured to the shaft with this bolt and is
able to move with the shaft. No guards are required as the rotating
components are encased inside the housing of the encoder. No brackets
are required as the encoder couples directly to the end of the shaft and
floats with the shaft.
