Absolute encoder AH3650M

Compact Absolute 36 mm Rotary Encoders with Analog Interface

Regardless of whether in process technology, medical technology or factory automation, the complexity and functional scope of the machines used there are constantly increasing. This increases the demand for increasingly smarter sensors where limited space is available With the new absolute encoders AV3650M and AH3650M, this is no problem, because the encoders combine precise and reliable position measurement with a very compact housing.
 
Exact position measurement is essential for rotary encoders. At the same time, rotary encoders should be constructed as compactly as possible and should be robust against interference and environmental influences.
The new absolute encoders AV3650M and AH3650M combine precise position measurement with a particularly small and robust housing and consequently represent an optimal solution for efficient and cost-optimized position measurement. The absolute position values are determined via the integrated analog interfaces. A variety of different variants such as 0...10 V, 0…5 V and 4…20 mA are available.
 
Compact and cost efficiency
The two rotary encoders with a magnetic measuring principle have a multi-turn system based on Energy Harvesting Technology, which enables the measurement of revolutions without the use of a mechanical gearbox or a battery. As a result, the sensors are not only particularly wear-free and maintenance-free, but also impress thanks to the elimination of additional costs.  Despite the compact design with an outer diameter of only 36 mm, the rotary encoders can detect more than 65,000 revolutions absolutely and precisely. Thanks to the integrated teach-in functionality, users can easily adapt the analog current or voltage interface to the required measuring range of their application.
 
Robust and flexible
A further advantage of the sensors is their their robust and resistant design. Regardless of whether vibrations, dirt, humidity or temperature, this is no problem for the rotary encoders thanks to the protection class IP67 and the wide temperature range from -40° C to +85° C. The rotary encoders thus provide reliable position values even in demanding industrial applications. Thanks to their small design, the rotary encoders are particularly suitable for use in applications with limited installation space.  The encoder variants AV3650M and AH3650M provide a high degree of flexibility when mounted on the machine body. While the AH3650M is available with different hollow shaft diameters from 6 – 10 mm, the AV3650M can be selected with different solid shaft designs. Both sensors are available with common mounting types, making them easy to integrate into the overall system.
