AC59 | AC61 Stainless Steel Absolute Rotary Encoder with BiSS | SSI

Hengstler AC59 or AC61 stainless steel absolute rotary encoders with synchronous serial interface (SSI) are used for direct point-to-point data transfer between the controller and the rotary encoder.

Bi-directional serial synchronous interface encoders (BiSS) use additional data, clock and power lines that can be connected point-to-point or via a fieldbus system.

The Hengstler AC59 / AC61 absolute rotary encoder uses high-grade stainless steel. It is exceptionally robust and suited to applications where high resistance to corrosion is required, for example, chemical areas, food production or marine applications.

Mounting options are a square flange and threaded fixing holes to the front and rear of the encoder, allowing for multiple mounting positions.

Resolutions of 17-bit single-turn and 12-bit multi-turn with shaft sizes of 9.52mm and 10mm with protection class ratings of IP67 are available.

The supply voltage is 5V or 10 to 30V DC with radial or axial cable exits. Interface options are BiSS or SSI with binary or Gray output code with an optional analogue output (+SinCos 1Vpp).

Encoders are RoHS-compliant, UL-approved, and CE-marked.
